Synopsis
Based on Jon Savage's book '1966: The Year the Decade Exploded', Arena marks the year pop music and popular culture ripped up the rule book in articulate, instinctive and radical new ways. In popular culture and the mass media, 1966 was a year of restless experimentation and the search for new forms of expression - particularly in pop music. Written by Savage and director Paul Tickell, Arena's film takes viewers back to that moment in a vivid celebration of the music, films and TV that shaped the 1960s.
