Synopsis

"AM: The Sound of Survival" is a powerful biopic about Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, the trailblazing DJ who turned his battles into art that electrified a generation. DJ AM became the face of a cultural movement from his early days hustling to make it in L.A.’s underground club scene to revolutionizing turntablism and pioneering the mashup genre. His talent for seamlessly blending genres attracted top celebrities and musicians, from Jay-Z to Travis Barker, cementing him as the DJ of a lifetime. But beyond the success, "AM" had his struggles—severe addiction, a near-fatal plane crash, and the inner demons that followed him every step of the way. This biopic captures his wild ascent to fame, the brutal lows he battled in private, and his ultimate fall, portraying not just a DJ, but a man who strived to save others as he struggled to save himself. His life illuminates the power of music to heal and connect while showing how fame and addiction can collide in tragic ways. With a pulsating soundtrack capturing his legendary sets and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his relationships and his influence on artists and DJs, "AM: The Sound of Survival" dives into the price of fame and resilience of the human spirit. More than a music film, it's a moving story of redemption, loss, and the lasting impact of a man whose legacy transcends his music.
