The documentary series is directed by the amazing Martin Scorsese. It is not the first time that Martin did a Bob Dylan documentary. In 2005, he directed a documentary film called No Direction Home. It followed the life of Bob Dylan and his influence on American Music. The film received positive reviews from critiques, so it is safe to say that he would do justice to another Bob Dylan documentary.

The focus, this time, would be on the infamous 1975 tour of Bob. The trailer consists of behind the scenes from Bob’s 1975 tour, which was surrounded by questions from fans at that time.
Netflix said this about the film:
“Setting out across a 1975 America exhausted politically, economically and socially, a busload of musicians—assembled by Bob Dylan—hits the road in search of new creative horizons. The resulting tour, the Rolling Thunder Revue, would reveal a Dylan rarely seen: playful, mask-wearing, intense, expansive, rejuvenated,”
