Made in America
1h 33m Arts & Culture, Music, Performance, Documentary 2013

A pulse-pounding portrait of Jay-Z’s Made in America festival - where music, culture, and unity collide on one unforgettable stage.

Directed by Ron Howard, Made in America chronicles Jay-Z’s ambitious dream to create a festival that unites genres, generations, and voices under one roof. From backstage hustle to crowd euphoria, the film captures the energy of artists like Kanye West, Pearl Jam, and Janelle Monáe — and the vision of music as a force for community, creativity, and change.

Rialto Recommends: Made in America. More than a concert film, Made in America is a celebration of connection - where sound becomes a shared language. With Ron Howard’s cinematic sweep and Jay-Z’s unifying vision, it’s a rousing tribute to the rhythm that moves a nation.
