Matt Damon says U2 was initially hesitant to take part in his new Paramount+ documentary “Kiss the Future.”
The project details the war in Bosnia, and the impact the band had on the area.
In a new interview, Damon explained, 'I went to them right away and told them about this project and asked if they'd participate and they were reluctant at first.’
He says the band did not want to be the focal point in the project and take away from the real message.
Damon went on to say, “We were like, "No, it's about this incredible thing that you guys did - it's about the role of art as an act of resistance in the world and in people's lives and these incredible people who literally were risking their lives to go listen to music or to play music in the middle of the siege.”
