Georgia rockers Collective Soul have been sharing their music with fans since the ‘90s. Now, more than 30 years since the release of their debut album, the band is ready to tell their story on film.
Give Me a Word: The Collective Soul Story, a documentary focusing on the history of the band will be released on July 8 on video-on-demand, Blu-ray and DVD, the group announced in a post on Instagram.
“It’s finally here!!!” the band posted on Tuesday, June 3. “After years of stories, memories, and music—we’re proud to share something really personal with you: our first official documentary, Give Me a Word: The Collective Soul Story.”
“This film captures our journey—the highs, the heartbreak, the brotherhood—and the music that’s carried us through it all. We can’t wait for you to see it!” the post added.
Directed by Joseph Rubinstein and produced by Greg Richling and Jonathan Sheldon of Pfonetic, much of the film was shot in 2023 at the Palm Springs, Calif. estate that once belonged to Elvis Presley while the band was recording their latest album, Here to Eternity.
