The film recounts an extraordinary musical story, exploringthe band's song writing as well as emotional highs and lows and looks into the dynamic between the band members that has enabled them to survive numerous line-up changes alongside solo careers outside of the band.; ; The remarkable story encompasses their visionary influence as the leading lights of progressive rock with landmark albums such as 'Foxtrot', 'Selling England By The Pound' and 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway'; the huge crossover success of the Eighties and Nineties which saw them hit the upper reaches of the singles charts with era-defining hits such as 'Turn It On Again', 'Invisible Touch', 'No Son of Mine' and 'I Can't Dance'; and through to their 2007 Turn It On Again comeback tour which included a show in front of 500,000 people at Rome's historic Circus Maximus.; ; In terms of what they've done together, and what they've done apart, there's never been a band like Genesis. It's a captivating story, told here from the beginning for the first time.
