Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, the two members of one of the most restless bands of all time, talk with Culto about the tour that, against all odds, brought them back, about their return to Chile in 2027, and about the memory of the late drummer Neil Peart: “I know he’s watching us and saying ‘you’re idiots’,” they say with a laugh.

Rafael Guendelman Hales’ feature film narrates the opposing trajectories of both sides of his family.
