When rock and roll arrives, the genre quickly becomes bankable for cinema and young television who understand all the potential they can draw from it.
Regardless of the criticism from parents who do not want to foster the seeds of this seed of violence, the musical revolution takes root in the USA and invades the world.
Thanks to the image and music enthusiasts who collect and share their personal treasures, thanks to the archiving and preservation techniques that accumulate these audiovisual testimonies in thousands of servers all over the world, films, filmed concerts, documentaries , television archives, rare and experimental works etc, remain alive.
