SEARCH AND DESTROY:IGGY & THE STOOGES RAW POWER
Written and Directed by MORGAN NEVILLE
(45min) With "Raw Power," Iggy & The Stooges reinvented themselves and set out to conquer the world, but the world had other plans. Released in the mellow haze of 1973, the album crashed and burned and brought the band down with it. But “Raw Power” survived as a sacred talisman of proto-punk fury, spurring young rockers to take up the fight. 37 years later, and on the heels of The Stooges' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this documentary tells the unlikely story of the fall and rise of The Stooges and "Raw Power." Featuring NEW interviews with Iggy Pop, James Williamson, Scott Asheton, Mike Watt, Johnny Marr, Chrissie Hynde and Henry Rollins; plus unseen live footage from 1973 and footage of James Williamson's first reunion gig with Iggy and the Stooges - after 35 years! - shot at Festival Planeta Terra, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2009.
