Revealing a never before look at artists, torn between their medium, freedom of expression and the lure of major label money and potential fame.

3.5/5
The animation is especially impressive in the way it compresses and conveys a great deal of information. The busy sound editing and design, by Alex Newport and Mark Bradridge, is another standout feature. Go to Full Review Erin Free FILMINK (Australia) 08/12/2022
