The video of The History of the Woodstock shows basically all of the accumulated information written on my previous blogs. The only difference is that now instead of imagining Woodstock through words, you can now see the festival itself. The video, which is made up of accumulated tapes of Woodstock, emanates a similar feeling of what it was really like to be present amongst the crowds on those three sunny, and later rainy days of August, 1969. In addition, the established background knowledge of the Vietnam War and the cilvil rights movements in the video, demonstrates how easy peace flourished during the 1960's and how the people had had simply enough of these intolerable, yet ignored issues.
Why is Woodstock discounted from history books when it was actually a turning event of the twentieth century?
