In the early ’90s, aspiring filmmaker (and General Hospital co-star) Ryan Sexton lugged a giant camcorder into some of the seediest clubs and filthiest apartments in Hollywood. There he filmed hour upon hour of VHS footage of the jaw-droppingly offensive shock rock band The Mentors, focusing on their infamous lead singer, El Duce. 30 years later, the team behind The Nightmare and Room 237 and the editor of Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist uncover this dusty stockpile of long forgotten – and never before seen – footage. They search for clues to piece together a picture of the man under the black executioner’s hoos and what his willfully offensive and controversial views might tell us about 21st century America.

For optimal VHS viewing, the film is presented in 4:3 full frame. Available in the US, limit 1 per customer.
