The Angels documentary, Kickin’ Down The Door will hit cinemas around the country this December.
Directed by Maddie Parry, the director of Hannah Gadsby’s Netflix features Nanette and Douglas, the feature-length documentary uses home videos and never-before-seen photos to create an intimate documentary that goes behind the scenes of one of Australia’s most defining rock bands.
John and Rick Brewster both give lengthy interviews during the documentary alongside chats with other key figures that were a part of the band’s journey including former drummers Graham ‘Buzz’ Bidstrup and Brent Eccles.
The film also explores internal tensions, strained relationships and moments that led The Angels to breaking point including when the leader of the band was asked to leave by his own brother.
The stories behind songs like Am I Ever Goin’ to See Your Face Again, Take a Long Line and No Secrets are shared, and there are some introspective moments when discussing the incomparable showmanship of the band’s late front-man Doc Neeson.
The Angels documentary, Kickin’ Down The Door will hit Event Cinemas in Newcastle and the Hunter this December. For more information visit eventcinemas.com.au.
