The cultural impact of their music and the fascinating story of Kurt Cobain and its other members.

2007 American Documentary Music Film

Very few bands have had a musical and social impact on the world; however, in their short but monumental career, Nirvana certainly did both. Kurt Cobain's songs continue to influence a whole new generation of musicians. Featuring unique interviews with Leland Cobain, Kurt's grandfather, who helps build a fascinating personal profile of a tortured genius; these never-before-seen family recollections are complemented by a never-before-seen interview with Tommy Udo, rock journalist and close friend of Cobain and the rest of the band. The film includes stunning footage of the band in action, both in concert and in the studio.

Nirvana was an American rock band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Founded by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic. The band's success popularized alternative rock, and they were often referred to as the front band of Generation X. Their music maintains a popular following and continues to influence modern rock culture. Nirvana is one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. During their three years as a headlining act, Nirvana received an American Music Award, a Brit Award and a Grammy Award, as well as seven MTV Video Music Awards and two NME Awards. They scored five number one hits on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and four number one albums on the Billboard 200. In 2004, Rolling Stone named Nirvana among the 100 greatest artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility in 2014.
