Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage
This film provides an in-depth look at the legendary Canadian band Rush, one of rock’s most influential groups. Rush ranks third for most consecutive gold or platinum albums after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Despite this success, and their legions of devoted fans, they had been continually overlooked by critics and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (until 2013).
Featuring never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with some of rock’s greatest artists, this documentary explores the long career of these Canadian musical heroes.
