Global Metal
Scot McFadyen, Sam Dunn | Canada | 2007 | 93 mins | PG
In GLOBAL METAL, directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn set out to
discover how the West’s most maligned musical genre – heavy metal –
has impacted the world’s cultures beyond Europe and North America.
The film follows metal fan and anthropologist Sam Dunn on a
whirlwind journey through Asia, South America and the Middle East
as he explores the underbelly of the world’s emerging extreme music
scenes — from Indonesian death metal to Chinese black metal to
Iranian thrash metal, GLOBAL METAL reveals a worldwide community of
metalheads who aren’t just absorbing metal from the West – they’re
transforming it. Creating a new form of cultural expression in
societies dominated by conflict, corruption and
massconsumerism.
