Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey movie scene

Arnel Pineda (ctr.) fronts the band in Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey

The 2012 music-filled documentary film Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey follows the real life rock-n-roll fairy tale story of Filipino singer Arnel Pineda, who was plucked from YouTube to become the lead singer and front man for the iconic American rock band, Journey, replacing the legendary Steve Perry and leading the band on its most extensive world tour in years.

In 2006, Journey guitarist Neal Schon found Journey’s singer Arnel Pineda when he discovered a YouTube video of Pineda singing with a Filipino cover band called the Zoo. Pineda’s tone, power, and ability to sing a wide variety of material—not to mention his uncanny vocal similarity to Perry—impressed Schon so much that he soon contacted Pineda, who initially thought it was a prank and didn’t believe that he was talking to a founding member of one of the biggest bands in rock history. But six weeks later, after spontaneously singing a Journey song for Philippines immigrations officers to prove the reason for his trip, Pineda arrived in San Francisco to meet with the band. Within a few songs, he had secured the job.

Written and directed by Ramona S. Diaz, the R-rated Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey (it’s rated R for language) was released theatrically and on VOD platforms in March, 2013, following a slew of festival screenings. It received generally acceptable reviews and a good deal of press and online coverage.

The movie will have its television debut on PBS’s Independent Lens on September 30.

Bonus features on the disc include deleted scenes.
