Red Hot Chili Peppers have authorized an original Netflix documentary documenting the band\u2019s ascent as childhood friends in 1980s Los Angeles, Variety<\/em> reports. Directed by Ben Feldman, with input from Anthony Kiedis and Flea, The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers<\/em> will premiere on March 20. In announcing the doc, Feldman thanked the family of Hillel Slovak\u2014the original Chilis guitarist, who died of a heroin overdose in 1988.<\/p>\n

Feldman added, \u201cAt its heart, this is a deeply relatable story\u2014about the friendships that shape our identities and the lasting power of the bonds forged in adolescence. What\u2019s less relatable, of course, is that here those friends went on to create one of the greatest rock bands in history.\u201d The March 20 premiere date is a slight misnomer: The doc secretly screened for prospective buyers at last year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n
