Nominated for this year’s Grammy Award for Best Music Film, Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple follows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who played with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, opened for U2’s Joshua Tree tour, toured with Bon Jovi, and worked with Nancy Sinatra before swerving into acting, most famously as Silvio Dante in The Sopranos.
Van Zandt also formed Artists United Against Apartheid, whose album Sun City raised more than $1 million in support of a cultural boycott of apartheid South Africa, and performed at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert at Wembley Stadium.
Featuring exclusive interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney, and Bono, the HBO documentary feature illuminates the influential and enduring legacy Van Zandt continues to have as a fervent champion of rock ‘n’ roll and social justice.
