Film Series: "What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?"

Film Series: "What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?"

Utica University’s Films on Thursday series continues on Thursday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m. with the 2023 documentary, "What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?"

The groundbreaking jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears was one of the hottest groups of the late '60s, selling records by the millions, winning Grammy awards, and performing at Woodstock. However, after participating in a 1970 U.S. State Department-sponsored tour of Yugoslavia, Romania, and Poland, the group returned to political fireworks and angry fans.

This documentary by John Scheinfeld chronicles that tour, featuring never-before-released footage from behind the Iron Curtain and an exploration of the fallout that followed.
