BORN INNOCENT: THE REDD KROSS STORY, a documentary directed by Emmy-winning TV writer and producer Andrew Reich, will premiere next month. The documentary will offer a captivating dive into the 45-year journey of Southern California cult rock band Redd Kross.

Reich, best known for his work on Friends, teamed with producer Julian Cautherley to bring the story of brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald to life. Formed in 1978, the band began when the brothers were just 11 and 15 years old. Known as a “band’s band,” Redd Kross has influenced genres from hardcore punk to grunge, including Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, and The Go-Go’s.

The film will feature archival footage with interviews featuring legendary artists, from Black Flag to The Bangles, while chronicling the band’s evolution. It’s a mixture of nostalgia, humor and heart that captures the band’s impact on rock and roll, from punk’s early days to grunge’s rise.
