HMA’s SIGHT + SOUND Film Series kicks off 2026 with Charity Case. This isn't just another story about chasing fame or selling out arenas. Charity Case is the inspiring true story of ordinary people who did something extraordinary and never asked for anything in return. What started as a one-time radio stunt by a DJ with zero musical experience became a 20-year rock phenomenon, headlining packed venues, opening for legends like Bon Jovi and Joan Jett, and raising over $1 million for terminally ill and chronically disabled children without a single member ever taking a paycheck.
Directed by Alan Jackson, this film captures the electrifying performances, harrowing challenges, and unbreakable bonds that defined this unlikely journey.
