Q&A filmmakers Alex Gibney and Blair Foster with JBFC Programmer Karen Sloe Goodman

Directed by Oscar winner Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) and Emmy winner Blair Foster (George Harrison: Living in the Material World), this two-part film chronicles the last 50 years of American music, politics, and popular culture through the perspective of Rolling Stone. The iconic magazine always understood that rock ‘n’ roll was more than music—it was a cultural force that helped shape America and defined generations. An exhilarating visual and musical experience narrated by Jeff Daniels, the film features performances by Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and Ice-T as it showcases the superb, groundbreaking work of the magazine’s many influential writers.
