Gritty, formative years of the Los Angeles band, and the influence of original guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died in 1988. It features interviews with bandmates Flea and Anthony Kiedis who discuss the band's early evolution.
A documentary about the early Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ and the guitarist most people never got to know. Hillel Slovak died in 1988 at 26, before the band became what it became. Thirty years of a life that didn't happen. This is his bandmates and friends remembering someone they never stopped missing. It doesn't feel like a documentary. It feels like pulling up a chair and listening to people talk about someone they loved.
