More in the mood for a chaotic docu-series? Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99 is for you. The three-episode docu-series covers the three days of the 1999 music festival. It was meant to be like the original Woodstock with music, peace, and love, but it turned into chaos, riots, and rage. If you weren’t there to experience it yourself, you can now see how it all went down.
