Speaking about the level of fame they achieved, Kevin Richardson said: 'You've worked so hard to be so successful and this is what we all worked hard for and this is what we all wanted, but then, at the same time, sometimes you felt trapped.

If that's the case, the documentary is a surprisingly satisfying deep look into the band's early days and current status.
