Deadline

The festival celebrating the 30th anniversary of Woodstock drawing more than 400,000 people to Rome, New York quickly went off the rails in July 1999. The event was marred oppressive heat, violence, allegations of sexual assault, a plywood “Peace Fence” set on fire and the looting of ATMs and the destruction of vendor tents. According to Deadline, "the series will delve deep into the culture that created Woodstock ‘99 and tell the real story behind how 'three days of peace, love and music' went down in flames. Featuring unseen archive footage and intimate testimony from people behind the scenes, on the stages and in the crowds, the series aims at telling the untold story of a landmark musical moment that shaped the cultural landscape for a generation."
