Green Day founding member Billie Joe Armstrong said: “We can’t believe this was shot over a decade ago. Little did we know that this was only the beginning of the adventure this record would go on to be.
“We are stoked for our fans to see this footage for the first time and watch us try and figure it all out.”
Abramorama’s Karol Martesko-Fenster and Evan Saxon added: “We are pleased to be working directly with Green Day and collaborating with our partners on rolling out this superb film directed by John Roecker to the many loyal fans who have been waiting for more than a decade to experience the thrill of the making of the game changing American Idiot.”
