Discover how three rock and roll icons pulled back from the brink to deliver some of the most vital, exciting music of their illustrious careers in this documentary set at a crucial crossroads in rock 'n' roll history. The year was 1971. As music fans around the world speculated that David Bowie would never turn out another hit on par with "Space Oddity," Lou Reed's self-titled solo debut had failed to deliver on the promise of The Velvet Underground, and Iggy Pop was declared officially wasted. But when these three musical legends pulled together to forge a path into the future, the result was nothing short of phenomenal. Vintage photographs and archival film footage show Bowie, Reed, and Pop as they each prepare to enter an exciting new phase in their respective careers, and interviews with such people as Angie Bowie, Billy Name, and Leee Black Childers offer a first-hand perspective of the era when rock 'n' roll rebellion was just heating up.
