Metallica: Some Kind of Monster

Metallica: Some Kind of Monster chronicles the tumultuous period in the band's history following bassist Jason Newsted's departure in 2001, as they navigate personal demons and creative differences to produce a new album. Filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky capture the intense therapy sessions with a group therapist, the grueling recording process at an empty barracks, and the emotional fallout of James Hetfield's addiction struggles. As the band members confront their repressed anger and aggression, they learn to open up in ways they never thought possible, ultimately emerging stronger and more united than ever before.
