Watch Pearl Jam rockumentary

A rock documentary of the American rock band Pearl Jam will be screened for one night only at St James Cavalier, Valletta, on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Entitled Pearl Jam Twenty, the rockumentary comes straight from the Toronto Film Festival 2011.

It chronicles the years leading up to the band’s formation, the chaos that ensued soon after their rise to megastardom, their step back from centre stage, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them – giving way to a work culture that would sustain them.

Told in big themes and bold colours 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 part concert film, part intimate insider-hang and part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists. Visit www.sjcav.org for more information and to book.
