10 Best Hard Rock Documentaries You've Never Seen

This really is one of the strangest music documentaries of all time. A film that examines what happens when documentary filmmaking goes wrong.

In the early-to-mid '2000s, struggling filmmaker and former lecturer Max Carlish attempted to make a rockumentary about the indie icon Pete Doherty. Instead, his attempt to revive his career ended in a bust-up with Doherty, after Carlish sold footage to the press of the former Libertine smoking crack.

North One Television, managed to cobble together Carlish's footage into a film that explores the bizarre and ill-advised behaviour of a man who got too close to his subject.

Much of the original footage included extensive pieces to camera, where Carlish shared his deluded ideas about his relationship with Doherty. It's a sad examination of a guy clearly struggling with mental illness, trying to play the serious journalist, but only succeeding in becoming unnervingly enamoured with the indie rocker.

Good luck trying to find a copy of this film, though. It seems someone has a vested interest in trying to erase all evidence of it. Every now and then, someone uploads it to YouTube or Reddit, only for it to be taken down again. Currently, all that remains of it, is this short clip found on YouTube.
