Backstreet’s back, all right! The Backstreet Boys documentary trailer Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of is here and it looks pretty great, certainly worth a download! “From 1999 to 2002 we were the biggest band in the world…and then it just stopped,” Backstreet Boys explain in the new trailer. The documentary explores the past 2 years in the band’s life and the recording and touring plans for their most recent album, In a World Like This. It also also looks back at their origins and how they became larger than life, plus the shadier aspects of the music industry giving their account of boy band mogul Lou Pearlman and his $300 million Ponzi scheme.

Things get heated, emotional and dramatic. Nick, Brian, Kevin, A.J. and Howie finally spill the dirt on Lou Pearlman, the notorious con man who got the group together and ended up taking millions of their earnings.
“We’ve been filming during the making of the record, the rehearsals for the tour, while we’ve been out on the road,” Kevin Richardson told Billboard. “It’s kind of a making-of the record along with our story, how we got together and the ups and downs and the roller coaster that we’ve been on.”
“What do you when you’re a full-grown man in a boy band?”
Filmmaker Stephen Kijak lets the Boys tell their story of their heydey and fall from grace in their own words, and then follows them during their 2012 reunion as they record their big comeback album.
Backstreet Boys: Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of hits cinemas and iTunes on January 30, 2015.
