The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town (2010)
Must-see for all music-lovers, Springsteen fans or not

If you haven't seen this documentary yet, watch it. I've never been a die-hard Springsteen fan but this is an incredible tale of artistry and it's hard to imagine anyone who is either a listener or involved in the creative process not appreciating what they did. It's a story of how magic comes from balancing visionary and obsession, friendship and oppression, cooperation and standing your ground.
Springsteen talking about the album in retrospect is lucid and insightful, but the amount of footage they have from the actual recording sessions is incredible.
Inspiring and a must-see for all music-lovers, Springsteen fans or not.
