Trailer for the film

Blood, Sweat & Tears, known for hits such as “Spinning Wheel”, “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy”, and “And When I Die”, headlined the legendary Woodstock Festival.  In June 1970, hot off their spectacular Grammy win for Album Of The Year, besting The Beatles’ “Abbey Road”, Blood, Sweat & Tears becomes the first American rock band to perform behind the Iron Curtain. This is the incredible never-before-told story about a top rock band that was unknowingly embroiled in a political rat’s nest involving the U.S. State Department, the Nixon White House and the controversial concert tour of Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland.  As a result, they found themselves in the crossfire of a polarized America, as divided then as it is now.

“A singular piece of rock history, even if hardly anyone knows about it.  I didn’t know about it, but now that I’ve seen the film I’d call it essential.” –  Peter Debruge, Variety

“The best political thriller documentary of the year is about a rock band who peaked 50 years ago?” – Jason Newman, Rolling Stone
