“This is a band who knows how to deal in the darkest times in post-modern history,” Questlove told me during our call. “That’s what I want people to learn from this film.” Through archival footage, interviews with band members, family, friends, and admirers, the film traces the group’s rise from Maurice White’s early years to their emergence as global icons. It also explores the philosophy behind the music, the challenges that came with sustaining success, and the legacy of a band who many consider to be the greatest to ever do it.
