In "The Soul of A Man," director Wim Wenders looks at the dramatic tension in the blues between the sacred and the profane by exploring the music and lives of three of his favorite blues artists: Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J.

"Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, DC (1980-90)" examines the early DIY punk scene in the Nation's Capital. It was a decade when seminal bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Government Issue, Scream, Void, Faith, Rites of Spring, Marginal Man, Fugazi, and others released their own records and booked their own shows-without major record label constraints or mainstream media scrutiny. Contextually, it was a cultural watershed that predated the alternative music explosion of the 1990s (and the industry's subsequent implosion). Thirty years later, DC's original DIY punk spirit serves as a reminder of the hopefulness of youth, the power of community and the strength of conviction. close

The backstory of the film is this. Despite its popularity, the group goes bankrupt due to the frenzied taxes in Britain, his contribution to this process has made the team manager. In the future, the musicians decide to get rid of the stupid director, but this step is given to them very hard. In 1971, the band went to France, where he rented a basement in Villa Nellecott, in this very place and born the iconic collection Exile on Main St.
The Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour was a stunning success, the best in the history of the band, which performed 117 concerts in 60 cities on 3 continents.
The daily work of the group brought stunning success, which in the end was appreciated even by critics. In August of the 90th tour came to an end, by this time more than six million people had purchased tickets and visited concerts. After that, the organizers conceived another grandiose project – to make the film “The Rolling Stones”. What happened, and what other musicians had adventures on the way to fame – just look in this film.
