Netflix has acquired exclusive distribution rights for the Bob Weir documentary The Other One: The Long, Strange Trip of Bob Weir. Variety reports that the film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, will debut on the online streaming service on Friday, May 22. The movie—directed by Mike Fleiss—tells the story of Weir’s life, from his youth through his time with the Grateful Dead and beyond.

“Mike Fleiss was given unprecedented access to create an intimate and compelling film about one of the most prolific, respected and beloved musicians of our time,” said Lisa Nishimura, Netflix VP of original documentary and comedy. “We are proud to bring Bob’s story to his fans around the world on the eve of the Dead’s final shows at Soldier Field in Chicago.”

Flies also added, “We certainly unearthed a lot of buried treasure from the Grateful Dead archive while making this film… With Netflix, we have found the perfect global partner to tell the fascinating life story of Bob Weir set against the backdrop of America’s greatest rock band.”
