A documentary film

Pearl Jam: See No Evil, Hear No Evil

Over 20 years into a career that has seen them go from everyone's second favourite Seattle group to one of the world's very finest rock bands, Pearl Jam's longevity has little to do with fashionable trends, celebrity status or looking over their shoulders. Instead the ongoing success of this mighty collective is based on raw undiluted talent, a knack for composing penetrating and gloriously anthemic music and the kind of common decency and fairness that music fans appreciate. This documentary film celebrates the music and career of Pearl Jam as it traces their journey to the top and beyond. With the aid of rare footage, archive interviews, contributions from their closest collaborators, and comment from the finest rock writers, this programme is all set to become the standard work on a band who remain torchbearers for the great American rock tradition.
