What’s It About
In 1969, the rock band Sweetwater led by lead singer Nansi Nevins opened Woodstock and subsequently received considerable media attention, appearing on a number of television shows. However, just as they appeared to be receiving a really lucky break, they just disappeared. Thirty years later, a cable television reporter for MIX-TV, a musical station, is removed from her show because of being stoned on the air. Her station gives her a choice of being dismissed or investigating what happened to Sweetwater. A blending of modern-day fiction and past fact is then blended in this biographical story.
Why it’s gone
There are so many reasons against this movie right now as to why it’s not professionally available. First, it’s a television movie. Not too many get media releases. The company, Wilshire Court Productions (May 31, 1989-August 24, 2003) was a made-for-TV movie production division of Paramount Television (now “CBS Studios”), that’s now defunct. You can throw MTV and SyFy to that list of “owners”. Too many names are never good. Although it’s a somewhat true story, no one cared enough to keep the name out there. As of now, only die-hard fans follow the group’s web pages. But if you really want a copy on DVD, there are several websites selling burned copies, or stream it, of course.
