Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation movie scene

Judy Collins circa 1963 performs in Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation.

The 2012 music-filled documentary film Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation combines talking heads with rare archival footage and new live performances to tell a story about a community that created a generation-defining music.

Between 1961-1973, many musicians in New York’s Greenwich Village banded together to sing about the radical social upheaval of the time. As these new singers emerged, Greenwich blossomed as a place that promoted a better future. Their music challenged the status quo by singing about taboo subjects – fighting for civil liberties, protesting the Vietnam War, and holding governments accountable for their actions.

Featuring poignant interviews with Pete Seeger, Kris Kristofferson, Don McLean, Peter Yarrow, Arlo Guthrie, Lucy and Carly Simon, Tom Chapin and Judy Collins, among dozens of other music luminaries, Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation offers many of the stories that make up the vibrant history of The Village music scene.

Directed by Lauri Archibald and narrated by Susan Sarandon, the DVD incarnation of the unrated film includes additional interviews as a bonus feature.
