Chasing Happiness

Directed by John Lloyd Taylor1h 36m2019

From humble roots as pastor's sons in New Jersey, through their meteoric rise to fame, the Jonas Brothers' bond was unshakeable-until a surprising and painful breakup led Joe, Kevin and Nick down very different paths. With deeply personal interviews, previously unreleased footage and exclusive music, this is the Jonas Brothers as never seen before.

Our read: Chasing Happiness (2019) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded documentary · music entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
