‘WE ARE THE THOUSAND’

NEW DOCUMENTARY ON FOO FIGHTERS FANDOM TURNED WORLD’S BIGGEST ROCK BAND

We Are The Thousand takes you backstage with the Rockin’ 1000. A thousand musicians gathering together with one goal: to convince the Foo Fighters to perform in their small Italian town. That was the beginning of an adventure that created the largest band of rockers on earth. Jump into the whirlwind global events that created a viral video sensation that pushed fandom to new heights – and launched the “biggest rock band on earth.”

We Are The Thousand tells the incredible true story behind the making of the video that reached 52 million views and the events that came next. 

This month the Foo Fighters marked a major milestone:

“Over the last 25 years, Foo Fighters have steadily grown from a one-man solo project into a bona fide rock institution.”
– The New York Times, 2/1/21
