Simple Minds are the latest act to get a feature length documentary, but the band wasn't initially alive and kicking to do one.
Frontman Jim Kerr tells the Hollywood Reporter that when they were approached about Simple Minds: Everything is Possible "we were reluctant to do that...We just thought, how do you do make it in any way unique? But there is a great humility about it that I don’t often see in rock documentaries."
Kerr credits director Joss Cowley -- who he calls a "young kid" -- for capturing the "monochrome Glasgow in the ’70s and ’80s, where we came out of, dreaming big. And he captured all of that...It gives the story of the bands, the ups, the downs, the sideways and stuff. And by the end, we had to put our hands up and say, 'Really good job.'"
Simple Minds: Everything Is Possible will be in theaters on June 13th.
