Rez Metal

Ashkan Soltani Stone (Dir), 75 minutes, USA, WNY Premiere

Metal band I Don’t Konform is given the chance of a lifetime to work with legendary Metallica producer Flemming Rasmussen in this documentary about the process and the inspiration for the band’s unique sound. As they return to their roots in Thoreau in the Navajo Nation, where many youths have grown disaffected as a result of endemic poverty and high rate of suicides, their sound and perspectives evolve.
