The film features interviews with bandmates Flea and Anthony Kiedis, as well as others who were close to Slovak, who discuss the band\u2019s early evolution and the deep bond of their childhood friendship. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe film will provide a rare, intimate glimpse into the rock music force behind songs like \u201cUnder the Bridge\u201d and \u201cCalifornication.\u201d With a career spanning more than 40 years, Red Hot Chili Peppers have become one of the highest-selling bands in history, hawking more than 120 million records worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tProduced by Asta Entertainment, Submarine Entertainment and Polygram Entertainment, \u201cThe Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers\u201d was secretly screened at Cannes Film Festival last year as it was quietly shopped to buyers. The doc then had invite-only screenings in Los Angeles and New York before landing at Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a true honor to partner with Netflix to bring\u00a0\u2018The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers\u2019\u00a0to a global audience.\u00a0At its heart, this is a deeply relatable story \u2014 about the friendships that shape our identities and the lasting power of the bonds forged in adolescence,\u201d Feldman said in a statement. \u201cWhat\u2019s less relatable, of course, is that here those friends went on to create one of the greatest rock bands in history. I\u2019m profoundly grateful to the band and to Hillel\u2019s family for their trust and generosity, and to Netflix for helping bring this story to the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMarc D\u2019Agostino serves as a producer, and John Tarquinio is the editor.
