Queen: Days of Our Lives

Queen: Days of Our Lives (2011) is a British music documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Director Matt O'Casey made it for the band's fortieth anniversary, and for the first time the story comes entirely from the people who lived it — Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and Freddie Mercury in new and archival interviews.

Four students formed a band in 1971. Forty years later: 26 studio albums, over 300 million records sold, and stages on every continent. The two-hour film doesn't skip the harder chapters — lineup friction, label disputes, Freddie's illness — and digs up footage that had been out of circulation for decades, including their first-ever television performance.

It is the most complete account of how Queen built one of the biggest careers in rock history, told without a narrator getting in the way. Stream Queen: Days of Our Lives (2011) online on iFILM.
