Description

Creedence Clearwater Revival was one of the biggest bands in the world in 1969. But behind the hits, they were signing a contract that would trap them for years. For four years, Creedence Clearwater Revival dominated the charts. While the world danced to "Proud Mary," John Fogerty was locked in a growing conflict with Saul Zaentz and the label that controlled everything they created. In this documentary, we go deep into the story of how one of rock’s most distinctive voices lost control over his own music. From the collapse between brothers to the surreal trial where Fogerty had to prove he wasn’t plagiarizing himself. How did America’s biggest band fall apart so fast?
