Stars: John Perry Barlow, Tom Constanten, Sam Cutler
Storyline
The tale of the Grateful Dead is inspiring, complicated, and downright messy. A tribe of contrarians, they made art out of open-ended chaos and inadvertently achieved success on their own terms. Never-before-seen footage and interviews offer this unprecedented and unvarnished look at the life of the Dead.

I had the good fortune of viewing this documentary at a screening
organized for friends of some of the folks involved in putting the film
together. I had a bit of an appreciation for the Grateful Dead prior to
viewing this film, but now I have a newly discovered fascination with
the Dead, and feel like I could easily and happily be a Dead Head! I
think this film is extraordinarily important as it chronicles one of
the most iconic bands in history, in a way that has never been done
before. I wholeheartedly recommend this film.
