Comment

The story of the contrasting fates of two of America's biggest, most authentic bands: R.E.M. and Nirvana. Nirvana had their roots in the underground and college music scene pioneered by bands like R.E.M. and Pixies and this programme tells how R.E.M also ended up gravitating towards Seattle and how a friendship developed between Michael Stipe and Kurt Cobain.
