“The film focuses on two major parts of Gregg's life in music: Gregg's early struggles through the formation of The Allman Brothers Band and the group's ultimate explosion on the music scene and Gregg's struggles to clean himself up from drug and alcohol abuse,” Savin says. “Considering what he has endured, the dark tunnels from which he has emerged, his health and his continued sublime musicianship is nothing short of miraculous.”
