ITP METAL AT THE MOVIES: OTHER METAL/MUSIC DOCUMENTARIES:

Here are some honorable mentions of metal and music documentaries, most of whom I've mentioned in the journal before.
                                                                                                                                     1.DIG; DIG documents the rivalries of two Northwest rock bands (Brian Jonhstown Massacre vs. The Dandy Warhols) as the BJM self destruct via their bi polar vocalist.
                                                                                                                                    2 SATAN RIDES THE MEDIA: Mandatory film for journalism majors as a Bergen newspaper journalist helps to investigate and solve the Norwegian church burnings and subsequent murders provoked by the second wave of Norwegian black metal.


                                                                                                                                                                3.HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD- VBS TV and VICE cover Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda, as said band come of age during the trauma of the USA's invasion of IRAQ.  Acrassicauda, whom are now refugees in TURKEY have more courage, brutality than most extreme metal bands worldwide."Heavy Metal in BAGHDAD" is not just a metal story, but a story of humanity, strength and courage in the face of a pro Islamic government and religious suppression of metal culture.

                                                                                                                                                           4.HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT 2000 Remember those HUGE arena and stadium shows and the great parking lot parties. HMPL takes you back to the 80's, to the parking lots at JUDAS PRIEST shows, where the FANS opinions are law, as the fans OWN YOU. HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT 2000 takes you to the parking lot of an AC/CD show with the awesome fans that follow them.
