On October 6th 2020, the world was shocked by the news that guitar legend Eddie Van Halen had died. A rock prodigy with a boyish charm, Eddie was never more comfortable than when he had a guitar in his hand. Known as the founder of the Van Halen, a band synonymous with California cool, Eddie was surprisingly an immigrant. Of both Dutch and Indonesian heritage, his family moved from the Netherlands to California when he was a child. Without knowing a word of English, Eddie overcame racism in a pre civil rights America. By age 25, Eddie’s band had sold multiple platinum albums and his innovative guitar techniques cemented Eddie in Rock and Roll history. It seemed nothing could stop him. But behind his contagious smile, there was a darker undercurrent that would plague Eddie throughout his life. He dealt with addiction issues for over 4 decades, having started drinking at just age 12. Often relying on alcohol and other substances to maintain his creativity, Eddie would spend many years in and out of rehab. He was a workaholic, often pushing his body to the limits in order to perform while secretly battling illness. Eddie died at the age of 65 from cancer. But if caught early, Eddie’s disease had reasonable survival rates. So what happened? World renowned forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Hunter needs to analyse every detail of Eddie Van Halen’s life in order to piece together what else may have been going on in his body, ultimately leading to his untimely death.
Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns N' Roses, famous for hits like Paradise City and Sweet Child of Mine, is one of the most unpredictable rock stars of all time. At the height of his fame he systematically went about destroying everything around him – the band, his relationships, even himself. But why? In this seminal two hour biopic, told by some of those who knew him the best, we explore the tortured life of this most iconic of frontmen - a man damaged by his strict, abusive upbringing who suffered from manic depression coupled with an immense talent that he didn't know how to control; a man who seemed to bask in chaos and controversy; a man who for years alienated everyone around him, before disappearing from public view for ten years. When he finally emerged and reunited with Guns 'N' Roses he was almost unrecognisable, his demons seemingly vanquished; finally at peace with himself. This is the incredible story of Axl Rose.
At the height of their success they were the biggest rock band in the world infamous for their excess and raucous live performances. With their strutting frontmen, wild hair and penchant for spandex they are often portrayed as the archetypal 80's American rock band. The band went through two 'break ups' covered by our timeline owing to a variety of factors but most prominently conflicts over the Van Halen brother's desire for total control and the destructive impacts of substance/alcohol abuse. By 1984 they were the biggest band in the world but, behind the scenes, all was not well and a battle for control raged between the brothers at the heart of the band and it’s lead singer, David Lee Roth. Years of touring, drugs and personality clashes had left them on the brink. When Roth’s ambitions grew beyond the band, the brothers moved quickly to force him out. Their millions of fans were left devastated, but rising from the ashes the they would regroup with a new front man, Sammy Hagar. Against the odds they reached even greater heights with a string of 4 consecutive No.1 albums. Apparently vindicated by their decision the band appeared harmonious. But as the success grew, new tensions emerged and in 1995 the tale of ten years earlier was repeated when Hagar too was ousted for his apparent disloyalty.
With over 150 million records sold worldwide in a career spanning a staggering 50 years- Aerosmith has truly earned its title as America’s greatest Rock n Roll band. Formed in 1970, the ‘Bad Boys from Boston’ soon became notorious for their raucous live performances and wild off-stage antics. They built their reputation with a blues infused hard-rock take on their 60’s heroes, The Rolling Stones. The early success of Aerosmith was built around the talents of iconic frontman Steven Tyler and guitar god Joe Perry - whose love/hate relationship and notorious drug abuse led to their nickname of the toxic twins. It also lay behind the first era of Aerosmith ending in disaster when in 1979 Joe Perry walked away from the band… Both Perry and the remaining members of Aerosmith spent years in the wilderness, drug addicted and broke and it appeared as though a promising career had been cut short. But in a remarkable and unprecedented turn around- the band reunited in 1984, staging one of the most unlikely comebacks in music history. Indeed, the second iteration of Aerosmith rose to even greater heights in the 1980’s and 1990’s, as the band captured the spirit of the MTV generation and moved beyond America to worldwide superstardom...In this feature length special we explore the inside story- told by those who were there- including, for the first time, the man behind their 1980’s resurrection, Manager Tim Collins, who’s tenure ended in bitter acrimony. This is the remarkable story of how the band survived 50 years of every kind of Rock n Roll excess- the breaking and remaking of Aerosmith…
He wasn’t especially good looking, yet he was adored by women and worshipped by men. His voice is something that wouldn’t even pass a first audition on American Idol, yet today he is recognized as one of rock’s greatest singer-songwriters.

Featuring intimate interviews by those connected to his life and career, as well as never-before-seen footage including his final moments on stage.

Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy met during a chance encounter while on vacation, but immediately connected through their struggles with mental health. Over time Conrad’s wellbeing declined and, instead of pushing him to get help, Michelle ultimately began helping him prepare for his own suicide. When the designated day arrived and Conrad began having second thoughts Michelle put the pressure on for him to go through with it – and he did. The motivation behind Michelle’s actions come into question both ethically and legally – was she a fellow mentally ill individual who was trying to help, or was she leveraging Conrad’s illness to get attention and sympathy for herself? Though the courts sentenced her, it was a lenient punishment that lacked the full weight many think she should’ve felt. The real question is – were Michelle’s true intentions to help Conrad, or help herself at whatever cost?
After Lorena Bobbitt snapped and cut off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis with a kitchen knife in 1993, the extensive abuse she had endured from him seemed to sail into that empty field along with the soon-to-be-infamous severed organ. Her trauma would barely be an afterthought of the sordid story in the public’s eyes. Remarkably candid revelations from Lorena (now Gallo) detail what life was truly like inside the eye of the post-incident hurricane. And a powerful one-on-one conversation with Amanda Knox enables Lorena to compare the most dramatic kind of notes with another woman who’s had her life hijacked and redefined by a media frenzy. In addition to Lorena being ultra-transparent about the abuse she suffered at the hands of John during their marriage, she also reveals that she is shockingly still being harassed by him—and their toxic relationship continues to this day. Decades after the crime that launched a million punchlines, Lorena is now reclaiming her narrative by giving a powerful voice to the traumatic parts of her story that the media and public largely ignored after the infamous slicing incident. The world is finally beginning to truly understand that there were two victims in the apartment that night—and Lorena’s story is one of survival and transformation. Of course, Lorena always knew her truth. In this documentary, she shares a never-before-seen perspective on a legendary story people thought they knew. There was much more to the Bobbitt saga than what the tabloids and late-night comics made people believe. And there’s much, much more to the woman at the heart of all the cheap jokes and bitter drama. Lorena has been to hell and back, and she’s ready to tell all…
