The signing with Lookout Records and the release of independent records that gave them recognition. The impact of “Dookie” and how they revolutionized the music scene. The exhausting tours, the media pressure and the personal changes they experienced. The transition to Reprise Records and the creation of more conceptual albums such as “American Idiot”. The worldwide success, the awards and the recognition as one of the most important bands of their generation. Their legacy and the impact they have had on popular culture. Green Day’s music is the heart of the film.
