Synopsis

A behind-the-scenes look at the rise of the grungy alternative rock band Kings of Leon. In 2002, brothers Nathan, Caleb, and Jared Followill, along with their cousin Matthew, decided to form a band in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. The brothers spent most of their youth in poverty, living out of a car while touring the Bible Belt with their Pentecostal preacher father. Rebelling against this God-fearing nomadic lifestyle, these young men embraced secular music as well as recreational drugs, and now their fans number in the millions around the world. Here, we get a peak behind the curtain inter-cut with their annual family reunion in the backwoods of Talihina, Tennessee.
