The Song of the century -- a true anthem for a generation.

It is about a cultural moment in America's history, that has followed us from the 1970s and continues to prove its relevance today. This documentary tells stories of the people who were part of this movement at the beginning through to today. We see and hear the POV of a new generation of artists who are inspired by the same values and ideas that inspired Don McLean. This is the story of America. Our past. And our future. The documentary reveals the meanings behind his iconic song and why it was and continues to be one of the great musical touchstones of pop music and culture today.
