From award-winning filmmakers Robert Gordon and Joe Lauro, and drawn from rare, previously-unseen archival footage, Newport & the Great Folk Dream is an immersive experience, told by those who were there – including Johnny Cash, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger. The Newport Folk Festival created a forum for protest songs, for a generation to find its voice, and for Bob Dylan to evolve from political balladeer to leather-jacketed rock n’ roller.
