Setting out across a 1975 America exhausted politically, economically and socially, a busload of musicians—assembled by Bob Dylan—hits the road in search of new creative horizons. The resulting tour, the Rolling Thunder Revue, would reveal a Dylan rarely seen: playful, mask-wearing, intense, expansive, rejuvenated. Masterfully capturing both an icon and a nation in transition, director Martin Scorsese tells the tale using footage that was abandoned for decades, now gorgeously restored, taking viewers into the heart of a freewheeling, electrifying musical gamble. Inspired by Dylan’s own restless spirit, Scorsese performs some breathtaking sleight of hand, summoning nostalgic fantasists, boxers, magicians, starlets and testifiers of all stripes, and exploding the boundaries of what makes a conventional documentary.
An essential piece of mythic storytelling, Scorsese’s chronicle features Joan Baez, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Sam Shepard, Allen Ginsberg and, giving his first on-camera interview in a decade, Bob Dylan. ROLLING THUNDER REVUE: A BOB DYLAN STORY BY MARTIN SCORSESE vibrates with the promise of America, a then-200-year-old experiment in a state of flux. The film goes beyond mere reclamation of some of the most extraordinary music of Dylan’s career—it’s a roadmap into the wild country of artistic self-reinvention.
Every one of Bob Dylan’s performances in the film can be found in the forthcoming box set, Bob Dylan – Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings, a comprehensive anthology of music from the tour to be released June 7 as a companion piece to the film. This 14CD, 148-track collection from Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings includes all five of Dylan’s full sets from that tour that were professionally recorded, and also provides the listener with an intimate insider's seat for recently unearthed tour rehearsals at New York's S.I.R. studios.

Contact NameChristine Richardson Netflix Originals Invisible North (IN) proudly unveiled a pioneering 2024 360 campaign for Propel, starring Michael B. Jordan. Last year, Propel announced Michael as their new brand partner, with a shared mission of bringing communities together through movement. In year one, IN partnered with Propel and Michael (alongside NOUN and Acceleration Community of Companies) to launch the Propel Your City Project (PYCP) - an initiative to drive fitness access by investing in local communities. To launch the project, a hero film was created to share the ‘why’ behind PYCP and feature one of the partner organizations, WalkGood LA. Following the launch, they partnered with organizations in Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, and LA to expand programming in bespoke ways to address local needs and make the most impact. Year one was a huge success - providing over 160 free fitness classes for exercisers nationwide and seeing a positive impact on the local organizations, including supporting WalkGood LA in establishing an accessible, central fitness space called The WalkGood Yard. Building off of the success of 2023, IN worked with Propel and Michael’s team, to lean into the power of community to create a brand anthemic spot. This year’s TVC showcases Propel’s shared mission with Michael to help exercisers reach their goals with the help of their community. As their research confirmed, for many exercisers, going on their fitness journey alone can be difficult, which is why the spot captures the energy and motivation that comes from moving together. It also highlights how Propel plays a role in fueling your fitness journey, with Michael speaking to the power of having a community that pushes you toward your goals. The 30-second spot is currently airing on all... Read More Propel featuring Michael B. Jordan
