I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco

Widely considered one of the greatest music documentaries ever made, 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart' offers a raw, unfiltered look at the making of Wilco's masterpiece, *Yankee Hotel Foxtrot*.

A Tumultuous Journey Filmed in luminous black and white, the documentary chronicles the band's turbulent chapter as they navigate corporate rejection, internal strife, and the pressures of the music industry. It’s a fascinating, tongue-in-cheek profile of the corporate circus that often surrounds great art, balanced by the band's incredible live performances.
