An 18-month New York City odyssey straight through the debaucherous heart of the 1970s...With disco music thriving in the city’s black and gay communities and the genre finally reaching mainstream white suburbia, producer Robert Stigwood sets out to make the film that will spark a full-scale cultural revolution. The Yankees, aka Bronx Bombers enter the age of free agency under the leadership of George Steinbrenner who is determined to restore the faltering legendary baseball team back to their former glory...at any price. Shock rockers, Kiss, with their fire-breathing, guitar-smoking, blood-spitting, ear-splitting levels of volume and eye-popping visuals are adjusting to their newfound success. However, the rollercoaster of sudden stardom illuminates the cracks in the foundation of a band already breaking apart from within.In an era of widespread crime, it’s difficult to tell one day from the next, much less, one shooting from the next...which is why the first ones fell away and blended in with everything else while nobody knew a serial killer was roaming the streets. BICENTENNIAL CHIC is set against a kaleidoscopic background of music, media, sports, fashion, sex, greed and murder as America pushes toward the biggest party in its history.
