Plot
At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan revolutionizes the folk scene by going electric and spawning rock as the voice of a generation, defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. Scenes filmed to depict the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan first performed in public with an electric guitar, were shot at the seaside resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal editing was necessary, given the resort’s commitment to its National Historic Landmark designation because of its concentration of Victorian and other 19th- and 20th-century architectural motifs.
