Get an all-access pass into the masterminds behind Grammy award-winning band The Mars Volta: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Whittled down from hundreds of hours of footage shot by Omar throughout their lives, the film shows the iconic duo’s journey from the hardcore scene in El Paso, Texas, to rock and roll acclaim; from growing up as minorities to their rise to success; from struggles with loss, addiction, and Scientology to their blazing come-back. It is a uniquely personal chronicle of the life-long friendship between two era-defining artists. The film depicts love, death, and inspiration – with a soundtrack defining a generation.

Post Screening Discussion with filmmaker Nicolas Jack Davies moderated by Alan Zilberman, film and theater critic for the Washington City Paper.
