Netflix released a documentary that reveals the most twisted details of what happened at the Woodstock 99 festival, with a supposed intention to recreate love and peace, it was all a chain of bad corporate decisions that led to disaster that weekend; The documentary shows interesting testimonies and unpublished material to understand the reasons for that unforgettable chaos.

3 days in 3 episodes

The documentary is divided into three episodes that represent the days of the festival; held from Friday July 22nd to Sunday July 25th, in the small town of Rome located in the county of New York (United States).

How the f**k did this happen?

The first episode shows how profit-focused corporate decisions lead the organizers to make the worst strategic decisions to hold the festival.

Kerosene. Match. Boom!

The weather, drugs, and alcohol are the perfect mix to put all attendees in the wildest and most primitive state; of course, the spark that ignited the bonfire was provided by the mythical and flammable presentation of Limp Bizkit.

A revolt at the end of the 90s

The turn of the century generation was far from the founding values of the original Woodstock 69 festival where the Hippie culture professed the love and peace of those times; Michael Lang, the original organizer of the festival, tells us how the generational change at the turn of the century unleashed all the anger that was stored during the 20th century.

The end of the most violent century in history is the best context to understand the anger of a generation, that in Woodstock, took out all the resentment and hatred that was professed for many years, unfortunately the music was the pathogen to unleash the apocalypse in flames.
