Peace, Love, Anti-War 

The anti-war movement upset cultural, political and entertainment standards and cut through all socioeconomic classes. The turbulent 1960s were a tough time for tree-huggers ... restless, rebellious youth took to the streets to protest the war and fight oppression.


A popular poster and button of the period featured a childlike drawing of a fragile flower with the words:


"War is not healthy for children and other living things."

" ... Abundant footage taken among the massive crowd ("half a million strong") expresses the human heart of the event, from skinny-dipping hippies to accidental overdoses, to unpredictable weather, midconcert childbirth, and the thoughtful (or just plain rambling) reflections of the festive participants. Then, of course, there is the music--a nonstop parade of rock & roll from the greatest performers of the period, including Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Canned Heat, The Who, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Ten Years After, Sly & The Family Stone, Santana, and many more. Watching this ambitious film, as the saying goes, is the next best thing to being there--it's a time-travel journey to that once-in-a-lifetime event. " --Jeff Shannon

Be the first to own this 40th Anniversary 2-disc version of the original director's cut

The three-day Woodstock music festival in 1969 was the pivotal event of the 1960s peace movement, and this landmark concert film is the definitive record of that milestone of rock & roll history.

This is a film of genuine historical and social importance, capturing the spirit of America in transition, when the Vietnam War was at its peak and antiwar protest was fully expressed through the liberating music of the time.

Hair - Let the Sunshine In 

"If you think HAIR is a cute, silly, hippie musical, this documentary will cure you of that. This is a penetrating, intelligent look at the brilliant, ground-breaking, still profoundly relevent 60s musical about war, politics, love, drugs, sex, and our place in the world. The film includes interviews with the show's creators, producers, original cast members, and much more. When it's done the way it's meant to be, HAIR is a serious, important, shattering piece of theatre and this documentary explains why it still works. ... " - Scott E. Miller

I Survived the Sixties ... 

My high school class graduated in 1969.

Ahhhhhh ... I remember the sixties well. I missed out on going Woodstock - I wanted so badly to be at the festival but I had to settle for watching television news, photos and stories in Time and Life magazines and reading the newspapers.

Woodstock Festival - Summer of 1969

This lens is the best retrospective about Woodstock that I've found on Squidoo. It keeps growing and getting better all the time. It captures the essence of the emotion, music, peace movement and attitude of a whole (my) generation.
