Each episode of THIS IS POP is helmed by a different director and focuses on an era in pop music, ranging from early protest music to the rise of Auto-Tune to the Britpop boom and more. “We started with the question ‘What is Pop?’, and found answers we never expected,” said producer Amanda Burt in a statement. “It’s more than the charts or what floats out of a car radio. It’s a perfect time capsule of how people were living as it was made and how they danced, loved, and cried as it was heard.”
