US PREMIERE The legendary Memphis band Big Star, led by singer Alex Chilton, has been cited as an influence on REM, The Replacements, The Flaming Lips, and countless others—their song “In the Street” even served as the theme for the sitcom That ’70s Show.

This film tells a story of musical salvation with never-before-seen footage and photos of the group, in-depth interviews, and rousing musical tributes by the bands they inspired.
