Description

Joan of Arc have long been one of indie rock's most influential, divisive, and enduring bands. Noisey traveled to Chicago to examine how Joan of Arc, and music in general, was a salvation for Tim Kinsella, following a childhood punctuated by bullying and abuse.

Features extensive interviews with family and friends, not to mention members of the band both past and present, mapping Kinsella's road from Cap'n Jazz through Joan of Arc's origins. With a new sound largely divorced from Cap'n Jazz's legacy, the documentary explores how the desire to create art fueled the band's ongoing twenty-year run, even in the face of visceral reaction from critics. The film chronicles the band's ups-and-downs and constant reinvention that continues to this day.
