Stephen Kijak, Gary Rossington, Rickey Medlocke, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Van Zant, Ross Schilling, and Greg Oswald at an event for If I Leave Here Tomorrow: A Film About Lynyrd Skynyrd (2018)
This authorized documentary will explore the music and backstory of the legendary American band. With the songs from the first six Skynyrd albums driving the narration, the film focuses on the story of frontman Ronnie Van Zant - his upbringing, his roots, his work ethic and his contradictory persona as both as a mythic Southern rock poet and notorious boozed-up brawler, as well as the relationships between his friends and fellow founding members Gary Rossington and Allen Collins, along with later bandmates Ed King and Artimus Pyle.
