Background
The film was shot over 20 years by Mat Whitecross, a longtime friend of the band, and was compiled after he had directed the Oasis documentary Supersonic. In an interview, Whitecross revealed that lead singer Chris Martin was unenthusiastic about the idea of a film being made about the band. Martin eventually allowed it to be made but was unwilling to watch it himself. The documentary covers the band's history from their first rehearsal in a student bedroom through their A Head Full of Dreams Tour.
