American Hot Wax

Taglines
1959. New York City. The battleground was Rock and Roll. It was the beginning of an era. You shoulda been there.
Overview

This is the story loosely based on Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed, who introduced rock'n'roll to teenage American radio audiences in the 1950s. Freed was a source of great controversy: criticized by conservatives for corrupting youth with the "devil's music"; hated by racists for promoting African American music for white consumption; persecuted by law enforcement officials and finally brought down by the "payola" scandals.

Overview

Alan Freed lemezlovas volt az 1950-es évek második felében. A rock & roll őskorában ő volt az, aki a rádióhallgató amerikai tinédzserekkel megkedveltette a műfajt. A merész DJ mindent megtesz annak érdekében, hogy az első élő rock & roll színpadi showval bejusson a brooklyni Paramount Színházba. Ehhez azonban le kell győznie a konzervatív ellenvéleményeket, a felbőszült szülőket, és a helyi rendőrséget. A filmben a kor több jeles előadója megjelenik, például Chuck Berry és Jerry Lee Lewis.
