An intimate and moving portrait on the late musician and artist Kurt Cobain, based on more than 25 hours of never-before-heard interviews, is the basis for “Kurt Cobain: About A Son.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0Documentary Channel (DOC) showcases the exclusive U.S. television premiere on what would have been the rocker’s 44th birthday, Sunday, Feb. 20 at 8 p.m. ET\/PT. The interviews were conducted with Cobain by noted Rolling Stone’s music journalist Michael Azerrad for his book, “Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana.”<\/p>\n
In addition, the documentary will be made available in its entirety online in DOC’s screening room (www.documentarychannel.com) and be available on DISH Network and DIRECTV video-on-demand simultaneously with the network’s evening premiere. Documentary Channel is primarily available through satellite television services DISH Network (Channel 197) and DIRECTV (Channel 267).<\/p>\n
In the film, Cobain recounts his own life – from his childhood and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame – and offers sometimes piercing insights into his life, music and hard times. The conversations heard in the film have never before been made public and they reveal a highly personal portrait of an artist much discussed but not well understood.<\/p>\n
Director AJ Schnack takes a nostalgic look back at a time more than a decade ago. Deeply suspicious of journalists, Cobain trusted Azerrad enough to give him unprecedented access to never-before-heard musings and recollections about growing up, dealing with his problems and experiencing the downside of the fame he wasn’t entirely convinced he wanted.<\/p>\n
The documentary debuted at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival and was nominated for the 2007 Independent Spirit’s Truer than Fiction Award.<\/p>\n
