Taking Woodstock

On a cloud of Marijuana smoke comes the true story about the guy who gave the 1969 Woodstock festival a home. Desperate to make some moolah to save his dad’s motel, Elliot Teichberg decides to invite travelling musos – like Janis Joplin and The Who – to perform on the hills neighbouring his property. Little did anyone – let alone Elliot – know how big the festival would become, nor predict the impact it would have on popular culture for decades to come.

The film, filled with colourful characters, hilarious anecdotes and great music, gives us yet another look at the life-changing event and leaves you wishing you’d been there. What a trip.

Rating: 4 outta 5
