Bruce Springsteen "The River" Documentary

As for the documentary, it was produced and directed by one of Springsteen's collaborator's Thom Zimny. The documentary features Springsteen performing the tracks from "The River" with his acoustic guitar as well as photos and concert footages filmed during his period. Springsteen is seen performing "Point Blank" "Independence Day," and "Wreck On The Highway" while explaining the background of the songs in a garage.

"I wanted to write songs of breadth that had some depth to them," said Springsteen in The Ties That Bind. "And I knew I wanted to write about the place I lived and I wanted to write about social forces that I felt played through that history. I devoured quite a few history books at the time trying to get a sense of where everything came from," he added, reported Ultimate Classis Rock
