The Woodstock of House (2021)

The Woodstock of House details the triumph of a genre of music that was attacked and seemingly destroyed by mainstream America in the late 1970s for being too black, too Latin, and too gay. "Woodstock" explores the music's mutation, development, and re-birth as House Music by disaffected African American teenagers on the South Side of Chicago in an underground culture of marginalized, largely gay nightclub constituents. This is the untold story of the role of Chicago's Chosen Few DJs in the creation and popularization of the third-largest musical genre in the world and the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the annual Chosen Few Music Festival. The Festival, deemed the "Woodstock of House," brings 50,000 people of different races, ages, sexual orientations, and class together in unity, peace and love without conflict in one of the most violent cities in America, serving as an island of love in a sea of conflict.
