J. Cole: 4 Your Eyez Only https://watchdocumentaries.com/j-cole-4-your-eyez-only/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/j-cole-4-your-eyez-only/#respond Thu, 13 Apr 2017 23:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/j-cole-4-your-eyez-only/ Most entertainers strive to be the centre of attention, but for rapper J. Cole’s documentary effort, he decided to focus on an issue he cares about very deeply: the experience of impoverished black Americans in southern cities like Baton Rouge and Atlanta. This deeply personal project covers the increasingly difficult conditions in the American South, which has been ravaged by factory closings, harsh weather conditions, and the ever-present racism that has plagued the region since America’s inception.

Fans of Cole’s music will not be disappointed, however. There are several musical interludes featuring songs from his chart-topping album of the same name. While there are many documentaries highlighting similar issues, J. Cole brings his own unique vision to the screen with a clear love and empathy for his subjects. The film provides a look at a largely unnoticed area of the country and creates an indelible impression that is hard to forget.

Strike a Pose https://watchdocumentaries.com/strike-a-pose/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/strike-a-pose/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/?p=3770 Strike a Pose examines the behind the scenes life of Madonna’s dance troupe for her 1990 Blond Ambition tour. Six of the seven members of this group were gay and the film looks back at the experience of being involved in a radical and controversial tour as gay men in the midst of the HIV crisis. The tour was documented in the film “Truth or Dare,” turning the men into leaders during the epidemic as they fought for gay rights and freedom of expression.

The film looks back 25 years after on the tour itself, as well as the process of auditioning and being chosen as part of the troupe. It also details controversies after the tour. Madonna proclaimed herself the mother of her troupe, but in the fallout after Blonde Ambition, the group sued Madonna. Only one of the dancers went on to join her on her following tour.

Soaked in Bleach https://watchdocumentaries.com/soaked-in-bleach/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/soaked-in-bleach/#respond Tue, 09 Jun 2015 23:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/soaked-in-bleach/ In 1994, Kurt Cobain was riding on the top of the world as the creative genius behind the biggest rock band in the world. However, the singer/songwriter was notoriously full of personal demons as he struggled with depression and substance abuse. Tired of the rigors of fame and the pressure of the mainstream music industry, Kurt Cobain shot himself.

Soaked in Bleach challenges this established narrative of Cobain’s death as a suicide. Interviews of various people surrounding the circumstances including private investigator Tom Grant (whom Kurt’s wife, Courtney Love, hired to find Kurt right before his body was found), Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper, and Rosemary Carroll who served as Cobain and Courtney Love’s attorney. The film looks to examine inconsistencies in the idea that the Nirvana singer succumbed to depression and killed himself. Instead, the filmmakers focus on examining the possibility that foul play was involved.

Sound City https://watchdocumentaries.com/sound-city/ https://watchdocumentaries.com/sound-city/#respond Fri, 18 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://watchdocumentaries.com/?p=4974 Former Nirvana bandmember and Foo Fighters drummer Dave Grohl explores the story of Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Los Angeles and delves deep into the history of the famous recording studio.

The documentary explores three decades of hit-making records from the recording studio and some of the reasons for its huge success and acclaim, along with the eventual deterioration of the studio until its closure in 2011. Grohl’s film was inspired by his own purchase of the studio’s custom analog Neve console and journeys his attempt to bring the studio back to its former glory.

Told through the experiences of some of the biggest stars in the music industry, the story provokes insights from the studio’s humble beginnings, reminiscing of shag-pile carpets and second-hand recording equipment that came to life and led to some of the most famous rock records of all time.
