The Day the Music Died

With a narrative running deeper than a catchy tune and cryptic verses, American Pie is a musical phenomenon woven deep into the history of American culture, entertaining audiences around the world for over 50 years. This documentary tells the stories of the people who were a part of this moment from the beginning, shows the point of view of a new generation of artists who are motivated by the same values and ideas that inspired the songs creation, and highlights cultural moments in Americas history that are as relevant now as they were in 1971, when the song was released.
