What Drives Us
Directed by Dave Grohl
A celebratory rockumentary that captures the camaraderie, adventure, and hard-won wisdom of touring musicians across generations.
The stories of some of the biggest artists in music, recalling the romance and adventure, as well as the idiocy and chaos, of their time on the road. While the world has changed, the custom has not changed. There is no other way to know whether you can make it in this business. You have to get in the van.
