Synopsis:

"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.

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."

👏🏿#ArtIsAWeapon Good for them!! #HouseMusic originators #LarryHeard (a.k.a. #MrFingers) & @this_is_robert_owens have won their lawsuit against #TraxRecords, according to @guardian. It's a bittersweet victory on #FrankieKnucklesDay, which honors and celebrates another House music legend #FrankieKnuckles. (Excerpts from August 25, 2022 "The Guardian") ‘It gives me peace’: house legends Larry Heard and Robert Owens on winning their Trax legal battle... A successful copyright action against their former label means the celebrated producers can reclaim their back catalogue after decades of struggle... For the past two years, Heard and Owens have been plaintiffs in a civil suit against Trax Records, house’s equivalent to Stax or Motown and their former label. But the fight goes back decades. Heard and Owens are among house’s most celebrated figures – as #songwriters, #DJs, #vocalists and #producers, and collaboratively as Fingers Inc, alongside Ron Wilson. Heard, who started as a jazz-funk drummer, is known as the godfather of deep house, which led to him being sampled by Kanye West and working with Dua Lipa. Owens’ tracks are among house’s most beloved; they include I’ll Be Your Friend and Tears, a collaboration with Frankie Knuckles. In the 2000s, he worked with the UK dance duo Coldcut on Walk a Mile in My Shoes. Sadly, though, their careers have been stunted, and made infamous, by Trax... At its core, the lawsuit argued that despite the label generating “millions of dollars in income stemming from their exploitation of the compositions and recordings”, neither Heard nor Owens had ever been paid a cent – so they sued, for copyright infringement.
