The series features interviews from Woodstock creator Michael Lang, festival goers and journalists, who reveal how several contributing factors, including a lack of water and stifling temperatures, led to violence, vandalism and fires.
The event aimed to emulate the original Woodstock festival in 1969, which was marketed by its creators as "Three Days of Peace and Music" and became culturally iconic for being a defining moment in the counterculture generation.
