The Sound of Scars (2022)
An amazing human interest story
Not knowing a whole lot about the bands music and the impact it's had on their fans over generations, I absorbed the movie more from a human interest perspective. The direction and editing transforms the film into way more than a band movie.
The story of each of the band members and their struggles with domestic violence and sexual identity separate this movie from any other band documentary I've seen.
The director Leigh Brooks covers the topic of Mina Caputos transition with compassion and depth but doesn't make this the entire focus of the movie. It's very much a collective piece about the entire band with great insight into their individual backgrounds and struggle.
Check it out, you won't come away disappointed, whether you know the music or not.
