Storyline

Hannes Rossacher's major documentary "Rammstein in Amerika" is a great journey. It begins in summer 1988 on the Ostseestrand in East Germany and accompanies the band on their long, sometimes painful, but finally successful conquest of the American continents up until 2001. It continues with their farewell to the US after the events of September 11th and ends in front of thousands of cheering Americans in Madison Square Garden. For the documentary, Rammstein provided extensive, previously unreleased footage and photos from the band archive. In numerous interviews from various periods in the band's history, the band members speak about their experiences across the Atlantic. Old and new friends and acquaintances, as well as many American colleagues, pay tribute to the band and recount anecdotes.

outstanding!

This is a beautiful documentary on such an extremely talented musical group or band. Rammstein is one of my top favorites when it comes to German bands and this documentary shows how the roads were for them when they cracked the American Market. Sadly during this documentary is also points out the huge flaws in America and the music medium within it that seems to cause a continuous fought within the global music scene.

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, it's a wonderful experience to see even more of the group in which I have respected from the beginning, and to hear it all from their own words made it even better.
