Which authorized Eagles documentary was directed by Alison Ellwood?

History of the Eagles was the authorized Eagles documentary directed by Alison Ellwood. Released in 2013, it is a two-part film covering the band's formation, rise to fame, breakup, reunion, and later career.

The project was produced by Alex Gibney and assembled with extensive archival footage and interviews. The participants included Eagles members such as Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner, Don Felder, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, along with collaborators and figures from the band's history. The documentary was designed as an official account, although it also discusses the band's internal conflicts and lineup changes.

Part one premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013, and the film aired on Showtime the following month. A home-video release added a third disc containing a 1977 Eagles concert. The documentary later won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Sound Mixing for Nonfiction Programming. The other options are documentaries about unrelated artists or bands, making History of the Eagles the single canonical answer.
