Powered by awe-inspiring, never-before-seen footage, performance, and music, Led Zeppelin's creative and personal origin story comes to the big screen. Featuring interviews with Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, this new documentary traces the early years of the band that made such timeless hits as Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song and Whole Lotta Love.
The director Bernard MacMahon and his co-writer, Allison McGourty, have gone deep into the archives and, with help from the editor Dan Gitlin and the sound supervisor Nick Bergh, come up with loads of images of the baby rockers at work and at play. As time skips forward, the future rock gods fall ever-deeper in love with music as they begin strumming, banging, singing and posing. This hagiographic documentary will create a new generation of fans—and delivers a headbangin' good time.
