It’s the first time the surviving Led Zeppelin members have participated in a documentary about their band.
Director Bernard MacMahon has confirmed Becoming Led Zeppelin will be the title of his forthcoming film charting the group’s rise through a treasure trove of previously unseen material.
Their origins as the dream team of the sixties’ blues rock scene in the UK to stadium rock behemoths by the mid-seventies is a well known but largely incomplete story, something MaMahon set out to correct with the same team behind the American Epic series.
“Becoming Led Zeppelin is a film that no one thought could be made,” he says. “The band’s meteoric rise to stardom was swift and virtually undocumented.”
“Through an intense search across the globe and years of restoration of the visual and audio archive found, this story is finally able to be told.”
