The War on Disco
2023 · ★ 5.8
The War on Disco explores the culture war that erupted over the spectacular rise of disco music.

A story that’s about much more than music, The War on Disco explores how the powerful anti-disco backlash revealed a cultural divide that to some seemed to be driven by racism and homophobia. The hostility came to a head on July 12, 1979, when a riot broke out at “Disco Demolition Night” during a baseball game in Chicago.
