A 1969-set true story about a young gay man, Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin), who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was.
Working as an interior designer in Greenwich Village during culturally and politically exciting times, Tiber felt empowered by the gay rights movement.
In his memoir Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert and a Life, Tiber says he was present at the Stonewall Riots on June 28, 1969. But he was also still staked to the family business - a Catskills motel.
Upon hearing that a planned concert had lost its permit from the neighbouring town of Wallkill, NY, Tiber called producer Michael Lang (Jonathan Groff) at Woodstock Ventures to offer his motel. Soon the Woodstock staff was moving into the El Monaco; half a million people were on their way to Tiber's neighbour's Max Yasgur's (Eugene Levy) farm in White Lake, NY; and Tiber found himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever.
