The two-part film, which focuses on the singer-songwriter's life and music from 1961-66, includes never-seen performance footage and interviews with artists and musicians whose lives intertwined with Dylan's during that time. Dylan talks openly and extensively about this critical period in his career, detailing the journey from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to Greenwich Village, New York, where he became the center of a musical and cultural upheaval, the effects of which are still felt today.

For the first time, The Bob Dylan Archives has made available rare treasures from its film, tape and stills collection, including footage from Murray Lerner's film Festival documenting performances at the 1963, 1964 and 1965 Newport Folk Festivals, previously unreleased outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker's famed 1967 documentary Don't Look Back, and interviews with Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Maria Muldaur, and many others. In anticipation of the film, members of Dylan's worldwide community of fans also contributed rarities from their own collections.

A fascinating look at Dylan's life and work - worth watching for anyone even partly interested in Bob Dylan, and not to be missed for his fans! Shows the development of his art and philosophy as a musician. It's also a fascinating look at the tension for any creative artist trying to break new ground - new styles or new art forms - in the face of opposition from fans who don't want you to change!

As a Dylan fan from his early days it was interesting to see film of those years.He was powerfully committed to Humanity to the point of hysteria at times,you either liked or loathed him.It makes me wonder how his performance wouuld be accepted by todays young people.Makes me wish to see how he does perform now,

Hmmm... this doco could have been presented a lot neater. You'd be lucky to get through the first half hour, let alone two discs worth of stuff! Some of it was interesting, but it could have been presented in a more exciting way.
