In the era of glasnost, perestroika and the last days of the Cold War, music became a powerful force for change. The new documentary Free To Rock looks at the spread of rock and roll in the 1980’s and 90’s and how it helped the Iron Curtain fall. The film is being shown in Lake Placid this weekend and director Jim Brown explains that it took 10 years to complete.
Free to Rock will be shown tonight and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts followed by a discussion with Jim Brown about the making of the documentary.
