BURN IT DOWN!

About This Movie

BURN IT DOWN! dives into the chaotic attempt to recreate the Woodstock spirit, but there's a noticeable shift in the air. The documentary captures the clash of ideals from the original festival with a more divisive, commercialized culture. The pacing is frenetic, echoing the tumultuous atmosphere of the era. It’s fascinating to see how the festival's organizers grapple with expectations versus reality. The interviews feel raw, almost intimate, exposing the disillusionment of attendees amidst the chaos. One standout moment is when footage from both events is juxtaposed, highlighting the stark contrast in vibe. It’s a revealing exploration of how nostalgia can often blind people to present realities and the costs of chasing an idealized past.

Explores the disillusionment of the 90s · Strong interviews with festival-goers · Interesting juxtaposition of 1969 and 1999 footage
