Why watch this film?
Rising from the ashes of Nirvana, the Foo Fighters became a Grammy-winning sensation on their own. Sixteen years of the band's history comes to life in this documentary, from their demo tapes through the creation of their 2011 album, 'Wasting Light'.
"This documentary is a great pick for fans not only of the band, but of music in general. It is an in-depth portrait of the founding, maturing and creative process of one of the biggest music groups in the world, featuring interviews with all current and former members, as well as friends and family. The feature film avoids typical corporatism and doesn't shy away from dark or controversial moments, covering topics from Kurt Cobain's death and the end of Nirvana, Dave Grohl's former band, to controversies between the musician and other Foo Fighters members. In addition to being selected at SXSW, it also won a Grammy Award."
