A lot happened 50 years ago in 1969, particularly in its tumultuous summer. June, July and August 1969 gave way to the Stonewall Riots, the moon landing, Sharon Tate’s death, the Chappaquiddick incident and Woodstock. And over the years, those events have been the center of feature films and documentaries. If you’re looking for a history lesson and want to stay up-to-date on all of this summer’s celebrations, check out the following films:

OPERATION AVALANCHE

There is one U.S. conspiracy theory people can’t get over: The moon landing was a fraud. It’s believed that 5 percent of Americans think Neil Armstrong didn’t plant that flag on the moon and that it actually happened in Arizona. The drama Operation Avalanche, which is available on Vudu, tells that side of the story. There’s only one way to find out if it actually happened: Put another person on the Moon.

STONEWALL UPRISING

June is closing in on us, which means Pride Month is about to begin. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that brought attention to LGBTQ rights. The documentary Stonewall Uprising details the events of the movement and protest of the Stonewall Inn raids. With World Pride happening in New York City this year, you’re going to want to watch this documentary on Amazon Prime.

WOODSTOCK

This is the OG concert movie, but on a much larger scale. Woodstock is the biggest, rowdiest concert in history. It put The Who, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more on the same stage. The 1970 award-winning documentary shows all of it. The good, the bad and the rocking. And you can watch it on iTunes and Vudu for a small price.

CHARLIE SAYS

Quentin Tarantino is not the only person making films about events surrounding Charles Manson this year. Charlie Says was released in May, but it’s only one of many stories about the Manson Family. The film follows Leslie Van Houten’s path to killing under the guidance of Manson. If you’re looking for a chilling viewing experience, head to Amazon Prime now.
