Apple TV+ has announced an exclusive new documentary series about the musicians and soundtracks that defined the culture and politics of 1971.
Executive produced by Academy, BAFTA and Grammy Award winners Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna) and James Gay-Rees (Amy, Senna, Exit Through the Gift Shop), the eight episode series 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything streams from May 21.
The show promises an ‘immersive, deep-dive, rich with archival footage and interviews’ that will show how musicians of the time were influenced by the changing tides of history.
‘In a tumultuous era, 1971 was a year of musical innovation and rebirth fuelled by the political and cultural upheaval of the time. Stars reached new heights, fresh talent exploded onto the scene and boundaries expanded like never before.’
Asif Kapadia will serve as series director, and will executive produce alongside James Gay-Rees, David Joseph and Universal Music Group’s Adam Barker.
