Pearl Jam:20 chronicles the years leading up to the band’s formation, the chaos that ensued after their rise to megastardom, their step back from center stage, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them. Directed by Cameron Crowe ( Almost Famous, Say Anything ) this film is told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound.  The film is carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely-seen and never-before seen footage spanning the band’s career. Pearl Jam Twenty is the definitive portrait of Pearl Jam: part concert film, part intimate insider film, part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists.
