Recently completing filming in Jakarta and Bali for the documentary
"Global Metal" (the follow-up film to "Metal: A Headbanger's
Journey"), "Global Metal" explores the global spread of heavy metal
music to countries such as Brazil, Israel, Poland, China, Indonesia,
and Japan.Produced by Victoria Hirst, “Global Metal” Director Sam
Dunn found that although metal has been appropriated by mainstream
culture at various points in its history, it is fundamentally an
underground form of music, and discovered that despite the vast
differences in geography and religion that separate these metal
fans, they are unified by a need to create authentic cultural
expression in a world rife with fads and mass-consumerism. In a
sense they have become one tribe.
