CHARITY CASE THE MOVIE
The Film
A Documentary About What Really Matters
In 2000, a radio DJ with zero musical experience and a veteran music producer formed a cover band for charity. It was supposed to be one show. One fundraiser. One night of fun. Instead, it became a 20-year phenomenon.
CHARITY CASE chronicles the unlikely journey of a band that headlined packed venues, opened for rock legends like Bon Jovi and Joan Jett, and dedicated every performance to sending terminally ill and chronically disabled children on dream vacations to Disney World. Through triumphs, health battles, unspeakable losses, and unyielding bonds, this film reveals what happens when music meets mission and when a group of mismatched musicians become family.
This is the story of Charity Case: the band that never chased fame but found something far more valuable: purpose, love, and the true meaning of rock and roll.
