Woodstock Festival
The Woodstock festival of 1969 is now remembered as the height of the counter-culture movement, but it was nearly a disaster.
Witness meets a trainee priest who found his true calling at Woodstock.
If any one event is associated with the counter-culture movement of the 1960s, it is the Woodstock Festival.
They say that if you were really there, you cannot remember, but Witness has managed to track down one Woodstock "survivor", Patrick Colucci.
Before Woodstock, Patrick was training to be a priest, but then the festival opened his eyes to other ways of living.
