Anyone seen the new documentary on Woodstock 99?

I have a morbid fascination with this bizarre event.

The documentary is on HBO and is pretty good in my opinion. There's quite a lot of footage I've never seen anywhere else, in particular of the turmoil on the festival grounds aside from the stages. There is already loads of professionally shot footage that was broadcast live on pay-per-view, but it mostly focuses on the performers. I'm mostly interested in the coverage of the masses of people and the rapid deterioration of the atrocious conditions, which the documentary shows quite a lot of.

A lot of people have criticised the doco for being too "woke" but I think it's mostly on the mark.
