The Kids Are Alright

Jeff Stein had no prior filmmaking experience before convincing his favorite band, a then-young British foursome dubbed The Who, to direct a film that captured their essence both on and off-stage. Now, 45 years later, his rockumentary documenting the band’s formative early years remains an underrated yet genre-defining staple. Blending live performance with interviews and other playful interstitials, Stein’s passion project showcases the band as both destructive rockers and hilarious, brotherly bandmates. Featuring the final performances from drummer Keith Moon before his untimely death, The Kids Are Alright is the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll time capsule.
