Bonus Episode: Interview with Garret Price, Director of "Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage"
Garret was very open with us and he shed a lot of light on the project. Some of the topics we discussed included: How did he get involved with this film? Did HBO or The Ringer make any demands on the themes or style of the movie? How did he choose which bands to feature? What was the most challenging topic to address? What's the future of the Rock Docs Industrial Complex? And what are his thoughts on the culture of the late 1990s?

Buena Vista Social Club
Rock Docs: A Podcast About Movies About Music
Today's documentary is Buena Vista Social Club, released in 1999, directed by Wim Wenders. Available on HBO as of this writing.
Buena Vista Social Club is a film about a group of aging Cuban musicians, most of whom had been forgotten by the general audience, who are brought back into the spotlight by American guitarist Ry Cooder. The film climaxes with a triumphant show at Madison Square Garden. The music is great, but does the movie hold up?
