Controversy
[edit]In late 2008, after the bandWilcoheard of Plexifilm's interest in releasing aBlu-rayversion of theSam JonesdocumentaryI Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco,the band urged fans in emails and on television appearances to not buy the new version.[2]Wilco's stance was that the cost does not substantiate any gained value for the money to their fans. Plexifilm responded on their website that the quality of the transfer to Blu-ray is beneficial. As of January 2024,I Am Trying to Break Your Hearthas not had an official Blu-ray release.
