For over five decades, Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley have been the heart of America—not just a band, but also a sound that defined a generation. Sons of US airmen, they met in a London high school and, with the late Dan Peek, formed a trio blending folk and rock into a unique style that would become their signature. Their harmonies and craftsmanship yielded hits like “A Horse with No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” and “Sister Golden Hair.”
Presented by the California Film Institute, DocLands Documentary Film Festival brings compelling stories and the provocative insights behind them to Marin County, California. Expanding upon the exchange of ideas and inspiration through public screenings and engaged conversations, DocLands aims to bring diverse communities together for dialogue and build an active, inclusive, and fully supportive community around documentary film. Dedicated to initiating connections and partnerships that will illuminate and invigorate the business and art of non-fiction filmmakers.
