Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock & Roll
The tale of a town that has suffered from problems for a long time, Asbury Park, and how the healing power of music can bring people together in spite of their differences. Asbury Park, a once-famous beachfront resort, caught fire during a summer of social upheaval, rendering the town incapable of recovering for the next 45 years and reducing it to a state of urban degradation. A town that was practically split in two by a set of railroad tracks, the riot wiped off the legendary jazz and blues scene on the Westside, but out of the ashes of the city's destruction emerged the distinctive sound of Jersey.
