A new trailer has arrived for The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel, a documentary that looks back at the band’s early years through the story of original guitarist Hillel Slovak. The updated title signals a more direct focus on Slovak, whose role in shaping the group’s sound and identity remains a central part of its history.
Statements tied to the project have also made clear that this is not an official band documentary. While Anthony Kiedis and Flea appear in interviews, their involvement was described as a tribute to Slovak rather than creative participation in the production itself.
The trailer leans into that perspective. It frames Slovak as a key force in the group’s formation and early direction, with reflections on the chemistry and energy that defined those first years. That approach gives the film a more personal angle, especially for viewers interested in the band’s origins.
The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel is set to premiere on Netflix on March 20.
