The Director's Cut

This definitive footage of 1960s hippie counterculture and its music is reprised and transcended once more via the medium of cinema. This documentary in a vibrant attitude of youth and rebellion and it also brings together super groups and artists such as The Who, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, and many more over a three-day period of drugs, rain, peace and love. This film starts with the concert's conception and the first foundations laid to its finish and its inevitable dismantling. Entwined with interviews from the local townsfolk to hippie talk from the red-eyed flower people in this split-screen musical montage of some 300,000 laid-back, groovy star children.
