Synopsis:

Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon, is a unique insight into one of the biggest music acts on the planet. Now a global phenomenon, the film charts the band's humble beginnings in the deep South of America, growing up in poverty, struggling with the grasp of God, and finding comfort through alcohol, recreational drugs and rock n' roll. Featuring interviews with the full band - Caleb, Nathan, Jared, and Matthew Followill, plus live concert footage and exclusive footage of other family members and influential figures in the band's lives and career, this is the first time their incredible journey has been documented. Directed by Stephen Mitchell, Talihina Sky is the definitive story of the Kings of Leon, told in their own words.

This reunion serves as a catalyst to explore the bands roots and the difficulties they faced growing up. Home movies, childhood photos and revealing interviews with family members -- including a colorful group of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins -- expose how the influence of their family has informed the creativity that drives Kings of Leon today.Now a multi-platinum act, Kings of Leon continues to feel the influence of their past while confronting the evolving set of struggles that come with massive success. The bands achievements have rippled back home to affect their family, who take great pride in, and some of the credit for, the cousins who made it big.The story of Kings of Leon has been called the 'best band creation story in recent memory' and, for the first time, is being shared by the people who lived it.

A behind-the-scenes look at the rise of the American rock band, Kings of Leon.
