Eat the Document follows Bob Dylan’s 1966 UK tour with the Hawks, filmed under his direction by D.A. Pennebaker, who earlier captured Dylan’s 1965 tour. Commissioned for ABC’s Stage ’66, post‑production stalled after Dylan’s July motorcycle crash; he later edited it himself, but ABC deemed it too incomprehensible for mainstream viewers.
