The Bruce Springsteen documentary, The Ties That Bind, is set for its HBO debut.

The film will premiere 9 p.m. November 27 on the network.

Directed by Thom Zimney, the 60-minute documentary offers an in-depth interview with The Boss about the creation of The River, as well as segments in which Bruce plays some of the songs on acoustic guitar.

The film also includes archival concert footage and rare photos from the same period during which Springsteen and The E Street Band were recording the album.

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection will be released December 4.

It features four CDs and three DVDs, including a remastered edition of the original 20-track album, an early 10-song single-disc version of the record, a variety of outtakes, a new making-of documentary, a previously unreleased 1980 concert video, and more.
