The first film in the series, Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage, is directed by Garret Price (Love, Antosha) and tells the story of Woodstock ‘99, a music festival promoted to echo unity and counterculture idealism of the original 1969 concert, but instead devolved into riots, looting, and sexual assaults.

Featuring an in-depth interview with Alanis Morissette on her groundbreaking 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, as well as never-before-seen archival material, the film explores her beginnings as a young Canadian pop star, the rocky path she faced navigating the male-dominated music industry, and the glass ceiling she shattered on her journey to becoming the international icon and empowered artist she is today. Directed by Alison Klayman (Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry).

Focusing on a year in the life of rapper Earl “DMX” Simmons as he is released from prison in early 2019, the film bears witness to a man searching for reinvention and redemption, striving to stay true to himself while reestablishing himself as a father, an artist and an icon. Directed by Christopher Frierson (The King).

A humorous but incisive look at the saxophonist Kenny G., the best-selling instrumental artist of all time, and quite possibly one of the most famous musicians today, the film investigates the artist formerly known as Kenny Gorelick, unravelling the allure of the man responsible for the term “smooth jazz”, and questioning the very definition of excellence. Directed by Penny Lane (Hail Satan?).

This documentary chronicles the meteoric career of Australian entrepreneur Robert Stigwood, who gambled on a magazine article about the Brooklyn night club scene and turned it into the 1977 cultural touchstone Saturday Night Fever, forever changing the way film studios approached movie soundtrack synergy, leaving an indelible mark on American cinema for decades to come. Directed by John Maggio (The Perfect Weapon).

An intimate and often eye-opening exploration of the life and all-too-short career of wunderkind rapper Juice WRLD, this real-time account of the Chicago native details his struggles to navigate his meteoric rise to fame, his drug use, and mental health issues through a wealth of never-before-seen footage, unreleased music, and dozens of industry interviews. Directed by Tommy Oliver (40 Years a Prisoner).
