PIEDRA ROJA: Piedra Roja is a close-up look at how Chile's first 'hippie' rock festival in 1970, an imitation of Woodstock, profoundly affected Chilean society during a time of social/political upheaval -- the inception of Salvador Allende's socialist government, the subsequent military coup d'etat, andAllende's suicide. The festival, condemned by the media as three days of drugs, violence and sex, became the scapegoat for both the left and the right to further political agendas. Emotional interviews with festival organizers and musicians illustrate how their involvement with the festival changed the courses of their lives as they dealt with backlash from both conservative Chileans and outraged government forces. The music in the film is 100% from the musicians that attended the festival and was "re-discovered" (from vinyl records) after the military regime destroyed all the masters. The documentary also includes the few minutes of actual film and tape-recording that survived from the festival. Today, Piedra Roja remains in the Chilean psyche as the most well-known, mythologized and romanticized rock festival in Chilean history. Thus, this documentary also examines why this festival, 40 years later, has come to symbolize fraternity, change and hope for the new youth sub-cultures emerging in Chile. Filmed in Chile by one of the organizers of the festival, Piedra Roja is a history of his life as well as his generation.
