Director Laura Archibald's approach is fatally safe, often turning poets into self-congratulatory windbags.

This evocative documentary explores the music scene in Greenwich Village, New York in the 60's and early 70's. The film highlights some of the finest singer/songwriters of the day, combining talking heads with rare footage and new live performances to trace the story of a community of generation defining music and musicians.

What are critics saying?
A most enjoyable flashback. Laura Archibald's documentary about Ground Zero for the 1960s folk explosion -- and its enormous influence on the shape of rock music to come -- isn't assembled in a particularly distinctive manner, but the materials and voices culled offer more than enough reward in themselves.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
A history lesson that holds some pleasures even for those who know its material by heart.
Perhaps the most fascinating vintage footage...depicts what happened in 1961 when the city sent police into Washington Square Park to stop the longtime Sunday practice of singing without a required permit.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Evokes the flavor of the era just before the music business exploded into a mass-market juggernaut. The film's pleasures are the same ones offered by a sprawling, lavishly illustrated magazine spread.
