Crave Highlights for September 2023

MUST-WATCH TITLES FOR SEPTEMBER


SEPTEMBER 10 – THE WINTER KING *Series Premiere*

  • THE WINTER KING is a bold and revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legends and follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast to legendary warrior and leader. The series is set in the 5th century long before Britain was united, and in a land of warring factions and tribes when the world was brutal, and lives were often fleeting.

SEPTEMBER 13 – REVIVAL69: THE CONCERT THAT ROCKED THE WORLD *Crave Original Documentary Premiere*

  • The Crave Original Documentary, REVIVAL69: THE CONCERT THAT ROCKED THE WORLD, is the remarkable, behind-the-scenes story of how a little known, but life-altering music festival came together, against all odds. Young, scrappy concert promoter John Brower puts his life on the line to turn his failing Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival into a one-day event, later coined in rock mythology as “the second most important event in rock ‘n’ roll history.” Through conversations with iconic musicians including Alice Cooper, Robbie Krieger (The Doors), Alan White (Yes), Geddy Lee (Rush), Danny Seraphine (Chicago), and Klaus Voorman (Manfred Mann, The Beatles), along with never-before-seen original performance and behind-the-scenes footage, the documentary immerses audiences in the whirlwind chaos leading up to the festival including a biker gang; threat of cancellation; a mid-flight band rehearsal; and inexplicable luck culminating in Lennon shedding the mantle of The Beatles, and nervously taking the stage with Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, and Alan White; an unforgettable event that triggered Lennon’s decision to leave the Beatles forever. The documentary streams Wednesday, Sept. 13, on the anniversary of the Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival show.
