Becoming Led Zeppelin (12A)

★★★ Time to get your head in the speaker bin of pop-cultural history for this enjoyable if truncated film about the early days of Led Zeppelin, the first authorised documentary about the heavy rock legends. ~ The Guardian.

---

Becoming Led Zeppelin explores the origins of this iconic group and their meteoric rise in just one year against all the odds.

Powered by awe-inspiring, psychedelic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, Bernard MacMahon’s experiential cinematic odyssey explores Led Zeppelin’s creative, musical, and personal origin story.

The film is told in Led Zeppelin’s own words and is the first officially sanctioned film on the group.
