Wimberly Venue: Cinépolis Chelsea 260 W 23rd Street, New York, New York� "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 #HouseMusic 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. The documentary celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the annual Chosen Few Music Festival. Deemed the "Woodstock of House," this festival brings 50,000 people of different races, ages, sexual orientations, and class together in an environment of unity, peace, and love without conflict in one of the most violent cities in America, serving as an oasis of love in a sea of conflict...
