Blondie’s New York

Blondie’s meteoric rise from pounding the punk-scene pavement to superstardom didn’t come without its trials and tribulations. This documentary centers on the album that changed everything, the band’s iconic Parallel Lines, and how it almost didn’t even happen as they worked to finish it in the studio. Debbie Harry, producer Mike Chapman and other band members recount the entire period in probing interviews that ultimately reveal how hits like “Heart of Glass” and “One Way or Another” catapulted punk music into the mainstream and cleared the way for so many bands that followed.
