It's far too introductory for anyone reading this blog, but I get a kick out of watching it with non-metalheads and saying, "Yup" to everything brought up. It's done by an anthropologist and metalhead who got funding to go to Wacken and have a blast. It's quite a competent documentary, if a bit apologist. The special features on the DVD, though, showing what was cut out of the film, make for a fantastic compendium. Definitely just check it out. On this subject, I recommend A Headbanger’s Journey.

The trailer reminds me of NOFX's <i>Backstage Passport</i> on FUSE. @Joe A.: I will definitely review Global Metal as soon as I can see it.
