film The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel

A new documentary focusing on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ formative years and late guitarist Hillel Slovak is explored in a new documentary film hitting Netflix on Friday, March 20.

The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel was directed by Ben Feldman and charts the high school friendship between Anthony Kiedis, Flea and Slovak - a friendship that would see the trio join together with drummer Jack Irons in the Chili Peppers' early line-up before Hillel's death in 1988 of an accidental heroin overdose.

Said to be a "raucous, moving, and surprisingly tender look at the power of adolescent bonds, and the enduring legacy of Hillel,” the film is told through Hillel’s journal entries and uses "unseen archival footage, and emotional interviews with current and former band members, including Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam drummer Jack Irons, as well as Alain Johannes of Eleven, and funk legend George Clinton."

The 93-minute film made its debut at the SXSW Film & TV Festival last week.

If you want to watch The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel, you'll need an active Netflix subscription.
