Woodstock serves as an important documentary as well as concert film. It tells the story of a festival that starts quite small with an estimated number of 50,000 visitors per day, a wooden stage, little security and almost no parking spots. But the festival is soon overrun by a huge crowd of peace-loving youth who come to party, listen to music and get stoned.

| - Woodstock serves as an important documentary as well as concert film. It tells the story of a festival that starts quite small with an estimated number of 50,000 visitors per day, a wooden stage, little security and almost no parking spots. But the festival is soon overrun by a huge crowd of peace-loving youth who come to party, listen to music and get stoned. What makes this film so special is the blend of great music with scenes of people from the crowd. One sees people bathing, eating and sleeping. Little children are running around, teenagers are far from their homes and adults are enjoying the simple things of life as if they were children again. At the Academy Awards in 1971 the movie received an Oscar for best documentary. It was also nominated for best film editing and best sound. In 1996 the movie was introduced to the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
