The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights: SXSW 2010 Accepted Film

Under Great White Northern Lights is a visual and emotional feature length film documenting The White Stripes making their way through Canada and culminating with their 10th anniversary show in Nova Scotia. The film documents the band playing shows all over
Canada; from local bowling alleys, to city buses, and onward to the legendary Savoy Theater for the 10th Anniversary show. A show that turned out to be the longest show the band had ever done on stage together.

The film captures intimate moments of Jack and Meg both on and off stage as they travel
through some of the most remote parts of the northern Yukon Territory. Along the way, they
have some nice casual conversations about their ten years together, fire cannons, play some of their biggest songs together on stage, and even play a 'one note show.' The cameras werethere to capture every waking moment.

What Northern Lights does best, is document one of the biggest bands in the world, playing
to local crowds in small towns. Some of these towns were so small that many of the locals had no idea who The White Stripes were - they just knew something big was going on in their
town. This forced a band that had been together for a decade to go back to a place reminiscent of the first shows they ever played together. For the first time in a long time, no one knew who they were and they had to make a first impression with their music. The live footage captured in this film shows that Jack and Meg were clearly ready for this.

Beyond the live footage, some of the films most memorable moments happen off-stage -
offering an insightful look into the very private and complex world that is The White Stripes.
It was shortly after this tour that The White Stripes cancelled their whole summer tour of the United States, making the ten years anniversary a truly pivotal milestone for this legendary band.

A guitarra quase pega fogo nas mãos do Jack. Rock, dude!

[MrTheking19951]

Hey ridusofthetonedeaf it is you who is tone deaf and hard headed by thinking all garage guitarists should play a certain way and not their own style which is what Jack's really about and you can't accept that because you know every time he picks up a guitar or a drumstick or plays a key you know you suck at. So go suck your own cock you pretentious wannabe who fails at music period and bow down to your king Jack White III !!
