Commemorating the 50th anniversary of his Frampton Comes Alive record, this career retrospective documentary of Peter Frampton is an uplifting portrait of the legendary guitarist and singer as he continues performing today. Directed by Frampton’s own longtime bandleader Rob Arthur, the film allows the British musician to recount, in his own words, how he first came to prominence in the bands The Herd and Humble Pie before becoming a solo artist and experiencing a meteoric rise to selling out stadium shows in 1976.

Mixing archival footage with interviews and performance from Frampton’s latest tour, this documentary shows not only where the musician has been but where he is and hopes to go, charting out all the trials and victories along the way. Filled with stories of (and interviews with) many of his fellow musicians of the era, this picture stands as a testament to some of the perils that come with fame and value lying in the making of music and bonds through the years.—Cara Cusumano
