How to Watch the Woodstock ‘99 Documentary on HBO Max for Free

Limp Bizkit. Kid Rock. A river of human waste. Nudity. Fire. Bottles of water that cost $4. Questionable fashion. Woodstock ‘99 was a watershed moment for all the wrong reasons, and a new HBO documentary is taking us back to a time when “peace, love, and music” turned into “violence, assault, and angry rap metal.”

“Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage” is the first documentary in a series called “Music Box,” produced by Bill Simmons. It’s funny, and sad, and scary, and tragic. The filmmakers draw a direct line from the unleashed hostility of that music festival to the political and social unrest of today. And it’s one of the most buzzed-about documentaries of the year. You can stream it now with HBO Max.
