The Who - The Making of Tommy

In 1968, The Who was struggling to find their place in the music industry. They had released three unsuccessful singles and were on the brink of breaking up. But then, inspired by Indian spiritual master Meher Baba, Pete Townshend created the character of Tommy, a deaf, dumb, and blind boy who becomes a pinball champion and a symbol of hope for the disillusioned youth of his generation. The album tells the story of Tommy's journey, and how his success changes the lives of those around him. With the help of archival footage and personal anecdotes, this documentary explores the creation and impact of Tommy, the first rock opera, and how it saved The Who from obscurity and cemented their place in rock history.
