I love The Rose and their music. So when the news broke that they filmed a documentary that will premiere at TriBeCa, I bent over backwards to travel from Germany to NYC to see it. The aspect I was most interested in was that whole topic of navigating different cultural identities and everything that comes with it, because this is a big part of my life, too. One important message I found in the film is, don't give up too soon - it's worth trying different paths to get where you want to go, it's worth working on your relationships, and sometimes it's even worth just waiting, or having a little patience. I think this message is more important now than ever, because in today's world of constant haste and waste, people seem to forget sometimes that some things just take a certain amount of work (maybe even really hard work) and time, and that if a road is a little bit bumpy, that doesn't mean that you can't travel it. These four guys have been through a lot together, and I think what has helped them was their great friendship and loyalty towards one another, and this bond seems to have grown even stronger over all this time. It's so heartwarming to see how they're apparently enjoying their current tour and each other's company. I really wish for this documentary to become available to a wider audience because there's so much in it that can inspire and encourage especially young people, but actually everybody.
