'Revolution: The Legacy of the Sixties' is an exploration of the 1960s Western cultural revolution as it ushers in our contemporary society. 'Revolution' explores, partly through interviews with many of its key instigators, the ground breaking cultural and social transformation of the 1960s as we get to the root of what changed during that period, and why. To what extent is our society and culture today a product of those changes? What does the 60s generation feel remains to be done today to complete the revolution, 50 years on?

In August 1970, 600,000 fans flocked to the Isle of Wight to witness the third and final festival to be held on the island. Besides the music, they also got a look at the greed, cynicism and corruption that would plague the music industry for years to come. They also witnessed the final, drugged out performance of Jimi Hendrix in England just two weeks before he would meet a tragic death. When it all was over, the fans view of rock and roll was never the same.
