The Guest List

In February 2003, America's deadliest rock concert began in Rhode Island, when the band Great White ignited pyrotechnics inside a run-down nightclub. That night, music and rock culture drew one hundred innocent people to their deaths, with questions about true responsibility for the tragedy remaining unanswered for years to come. This deeply moving documentary explores how that same music and culture became sources of healing and comfort, at least for some, in the years thereafter; contrasting Great White front-man Jack Russell's post-fire journey, on a search for redemption, with burn survivor Joe Kinan's rebirth, courage and inspiration. A strikingly visual and epic human-interest story that explores the causes and aftermath of this horrific event, no one who watches The Guest List will enter a concert venue again without first checking for the exits.
