For all you 90's alternative rock fan's. This will be a tough watch.

Shannon Hoon, lead singer of the rock band Blind Melon, filmed himself from 1990-95 with a Hi8 video camera, recording up until a few hours before his sudden death at the age of 28. His camera was a diary and his closest confidant. In the hundreds of hours of footage, Hoon meticulously documented his life – his family, his creative process, his television, his band’s rise to fame and his struggle with addiction. He filmed his daughter’s birth, and archived the politics and culture of the 90’s, an era right before the internet changed the world. Created with his own footage, voice and music, this intimate autobiography is a prescient exploration of experience and memory in the age of video. It is also Shannon Hoon’s last work, completed 23 years after his death.

Directed by Danny Clinch, Taryn Gould, Colleen Hennessy, and Shannon Hoon

I was going to say how interesting is a doc about a one hit wonder really going to be, but that does sound pretty good.

It's a shame because they had a lot of really good song's the radio just didn't play them.

Is there a release date? Will it start on streaming platforms, if so, which ones?

Wow, they're dropping it tomorrow. I'm interested to see which platforms will make it available. There will probably be a write up in the New York Times highlighting it. Thanks for the details Nymphae

I never liked the group, but I'd be down to see some 90s footage. Sounds interesting.
