Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during R.E.M.'s 1995 tour, the film captures the band recording in venues, dressing rooms, and even a Philadelphia church between shows.
This remains the only substantial documentary footage of the original four members working together; Berry's departure in 1997 made it unintentionally elegiac.
