Born to Be Wild: The Story of Steppenwolf, Oliver Schwehm (Canada, Germany, 2024)
Its appearance in the movie Easy Rider launched the iconic “Born to Be Wild” to the status of a generational anthem and propelled Steppenwolf as one of the most emblematic and mysterious hard rock bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s. This is the tumultuous rise and fall of a group of young men from Toronto, Canada, two of whom were from post-WWII Germany, as they navigated the psychedelic underground of California, biker gangs, legal battles, clashing personalities (singer John Kay and bassist Nick St. Nicholas are comically at odds), and the social unrest of the era behind a pair of tough guy sunglasses.
Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Spanish.
A film in the 2024 edition of the In-Edit International Music Documentary Film Festival.
