"Laurel Canyon" is a feature documentary, in two parts, concerning music and culture in the famed Hollywood Hills' Laurel Canyon area, which includes archival materials, content and music from key figures in the vibrant music scene.
EPISODE 1
Part One
Just a short hitchhike above the noise and neon of the Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon was a rural oasis that drew young musicians. Love was free, hair was long, and doors were unlocked. They lived together, they took drugs together, formed bands, broke up those bands, and formed other bands. The rustic atmosphere brought out their talents and was the centre for this community that clashed and collaborated to create a brand new sound. They perfected that sound at local clubs, and pretty soon the world took notice.
EPISODE 2
Part Two
The artists who thrived in Laurel Canyon found themselves at the forefront of a global musical stage. With bigger paychecks and harder drugs, the scene began to shift. The neighbourly feeling disappeared after the Manson murders.
