I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart was conceived as a documentary about the making of what became Wilco's most popular album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but this film became a classic David and Goliath story where artistic integrity triumphs over crass commercial interests in every way possible. As fate would have it, award-winning photographer and first-time director Sam Jones captured a critical time involving seismic shifts in the structure and evolution of the band.
