VIA PRESS RELEASE | Independent film production company Golden Leaf Pictures announces it will release Woodstock Nation, a new documentary exploring the evolution of music festivals, from the organic experience of the original 1969 Woodstock to a myriad of themed festivals today, asking the question: Is music still a strong voice for social change and do people have an innate need to gather in musical celebration?
Woodstock was more than just a concert, it sparked a social and humanitarian revolution. Those three days in upstate New York led a generation to find its voice, and fifty years later there are hundreds of festivals popping up each year. Woodstock Nation explores this phenomenon through a panoply of interviews with performers—both those in the original Woodstock lineup as well as today’s top stars headlining the world’s biggest festivals—concert promoters, influencers, celebrities, and fans.
The documentary will explore themes and theories revolving around the power of music, the importance of festivals to artists as well as fans, and the ways in which our relationship to music has changed, asking the ultimate question: In a culture with technology progressing at breakneck speed, from hardware to streaming to social media platforms that allow us to experience more high-quality music than ever before from the comfort of our homes, why do millions continue to flock to music festivals each year?
In conjunction with the documentary release, Golden Leaf Pictures will release a 50th Anniversary Commemorative Box Set that will be signed and numbered and include the following: • Limited Edition Poster, Laminated Pass, photo album and other collectibles celebrating 50 years of Woodstock. • 3 DVD Box Set of never-before-released concert footage from The Woodstock 40th Anniversary Concert at Bethel Woods
