The unfinished film project will screen in theaters for one night only in the cities Metallica will be performing in on their M72 tour
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, Metallica Saved My Life celebrates four decades of found family through fandom. “I was a dork,” one fan said, while another added: “I’ve always been kind of a loner.” Others recalled being teased and taunted for not fitting the stereotype of what an audience for a band like Metallica is expected to look like. Frontman James Hetfield appeared in the teaser to encourage an opening of the floodgates and facilitate the emotional release: “I want to hear ’em. I want to hear ’em all.”
