The life of Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia will be the focus of a new documentary featuring never-before-seen footage, according to his daughter, Trixie Garcia.
The late singer/guitarist’s pal and collaborator Justin Kreutzmann will direct it.
Garcia passed away in 1995 at age 53 from a heart attack.
In a statement, Trixie said the first-ever authorized Garcia documentary is important because “decades later and his influence is more powerful than ever.”
The Grateful Dead has been a hot topic in Hollywood.
In November, Deadline reported that Jonah Hill will star in Martin Scorsese’s untitled biopic on Garcia.
Do you agree that Jerry Garcia’s influence is “more powerful than ever”?
