This is a film about The Black Keys that follows the journey of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney from a basement jam session in Akron, Ohio, to rock ‘n’ roll superstars. They barely knew each other when they made their first recordings, but soon realized they shared a powerful musical connection and a drive to succeed.
The duo toured America relentlessly for ten years before finally releasing their hit records ‘Brothers’ and ‘El Camino’. Even though so many forces threatened to pull them apart, the band managed to stay together. 24 years later, they’re closer than ever, still making great music and still wondering what’s next.
Director Jeff Dupre collected more than 400 hours of video material about the band. Dupre: “They told me first that Pat and Dan weren’t always very good at communicating with each other. Would they open up to me? But they totally came through in their interviews. Plus their incredible music expresses who they are and what they’ve been through.”
