Synopsis
A documentary about the life of rock star Peter Doherty and his struggle to overcome addiction to hard drugs.
Filmmaker and musician Katia De Vidas, also his spouse, has recorded Peter Doherty over a period of 10 years. This documentary follows the descent into hell of the singer and songwriter of The Libertines. Throughout the filming process we see how Doherty exponentially gains fame that will take him to the top while forcing him to fight to overcome his inner demons.
Legendary English punk singer- songwriter and Libertines frontman, Peter Doherty, delves into the depths of addiction at the height of his popularity. The recordings during the intimacy of the couple in their daily life in the daily environment of the director, who filmed more than 200 hours of exclusive footage, will lead us to experience, in the words of the artist himself, " Doherty's moving and emotionally charged struggle to overcome his demons and emerge from darkness into light."
Jim Carey helped De Vidas in the script of the feature film and David Hoser and Rebekka Riise helped in the recording of this unique piece, which without the close relationship of its creator with the artist, we would never have obtained. The visual effects for the recording were carried out by David Tomaszewski.
