It debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, appeared in theatres, and now comes to DVD on October 25: “Pearl Jam Twenty.”

The Cameron Crowe-directed movie documents an intimate first glimpse into Pearl Jam’s journey, culled from more than 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, over 24 hours of recent interviews with the band, as well as live footage of their spellbinding concert performances.

“Pearl Jam Twenty” is told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound, and chronicles the years leading up to the band’s formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after being catapulted into superstardom, their step back from the spotlight with the instinct of self-preservation, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them—giving way to a work culture that would sustain them. The film celebrates the freedom that allows the band to make music without losing themselves, their fans, or the music lovers they’d always been.

“We put so much into the film – moments, pieces of footage shot by band members, audio snippets, visual bursts, new and old interviews – many different formats, all meant to present an emotional scrapbook of what it felt like to be a member of the band on this twenty-year journey,” said Crowe. “The richness of the footage made our path very clear – just tell the story of the band and let the music guide us. It was a joy to make this film, and we’re thrilled share it with the fans.”

Before it’s in stores, PJ fans can check out the film, via PBS, on its U.S. television premiere October 21 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), as part of the PBS “American Masters” series, airing during the first-ever PBS Arts Fall Festival.
