The Story of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: I Won't Back Down: A Musical Documentary 

With his faithful band The Heartbreakers behind him, Tom Petty lit up stages across the world, and became an unlikely early star of MTV with some innovative video work. Subsequent releases saw him justifiably included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, alongside a stint in supergroup The Travelling Wilburys. This release contains the full story with interviews, backstage footage and live clips.
