Dropkick Murphys

Documentary with interviews and clips of bands from Epitaph and Burning Heart.

Dropkick Murphys met Woody Guthrie’s daughter Nora over 20 years ago, collaborating on songs like 2003’s “Blackout” and 2005’s “I’m Shipping Up To Boston,” which were written around unrecorded lyrics by Woody Guthrie. The band always intended to revisit the Guthrie archive and create more songs, but didn’t get the chance until April 2022. They recorded two albums, ‘This Machine Still Kills Fascists’ (2022) and ‘Okemah Rising’ (2023), in Tulsa, Oklahoma, going fully acoustic for the first time as a tribute to Guthrie. The project also led to their first seated theater tour. “This Machine Rising” tells the story of Dropkick Murphys’ journey with Woody Guthrie’s lyrics, focusing on the Tulsa sessions, the theater tour, and the enduring power of music and words to unite the working class and promote equity.

The Warped Tour documentary captures the heart and soul of The Van's Warped Tour. It sheds light on how the Warped Tour has become the longest running and most successful traveling music festival in American history against all odds. It speaks to a generation and reflects their views on life, music and politics. The film reveals how a million patrons a year pass through its gates to find the central meeting place for a generation. It also illustrates the underdog story of Kevin Lyman, and how his good nature and natural generosity are at the core of the scene's success. This is the first documentary to tell the complete story of the tour's rocky start in 1995, to its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and its importance in music culture today.
