Box of Rain Trailer Previews Grateful Dead Fan Documentary

ComingSoon is excited to debut the trailer for the documentary Box of Rain, which takes a look at the world of the “Deadhead family,” the fans of the band Grateful Dead. Directed and produced by Lonnie Frazier, the film is out digitally via Mutiny Pictures on May 3, 2022.

“What do you do when you’re seventeen, suicidal, and believe that the only thing the world has to offer you is violence and pain?” asks the official synopsis. “You get in your car and drive across the United States to go see the Grateful Dead, of course. At least, that’s what you do if you’re lucky. And without a doubt, Lonnie Frazier was very lucky. In 1985, Lonnie’s life was spiraling out of control. Through a twist of fate she found healing in an unexpected place: the Deadhead community. It all started with a road trip and free tickets to see the Grateful Dead at Red Rocks in Colorado.

“This film is an exploration of the Deadhead family, past and present, and the qualities that make it unique. We follow Lonnie as she reconnects with the women she traveled with in her youth, and makes new friends along the way. Through wide-ranging interviews, she seeks to dispel the common stereotypes about Dead-heads and document the beauty of the community. We learn how the Grateful Dead touched the lives of so many people, the healing they found through the music, and the memories they cherish most. Twenty-five years after the road trip that started it all, Lonnie returns to Red Rocks in her quest to complete this film. On this journey, she discovers healing, and the power to write her own story.”
