Description

Canadian Premiere

From the Academy Award-winning producers behind acclaimed documentaries Quant (Mary Quant) and Ronnie’s (Ronnie Scott), Don’t Forget Me is the first official biography of rock ’n’ roll pioneer Eddie Cochran. Made in partnership with the Cochran Family Estate, the film chronicles the extraordinary yet tragically short life of an artist who reshaped popular music before the age of 21.

Through never-before-seen archival material and intimate access to family history, the documentary traces Cochran’s journey from a devoted son with boundless joy to a revolutionary musician whose sound continues to reverberate across generations.

Featuring powerful testimonies from cultural and musical icons including Keith Richards, Sting, Sir Rod Stewart, Kiefer Sutherland, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, Ronnie Wood, Linda Perry, John Waters, Stephen Sanchez and Yungblud, the film captures the scale of his influence.

Don’t Forget Me is both a celebration and a reckoning—an intimate portrait of a young life cut short, and a legacy that refuses to fade.
