TRENCHES OF ROCK

Synopsis: 

An Atlanta Film Festival official selection, TRENCHES OF ROCK chronicles the 30-year history of the 'Christian Metal' band BLOODGOOD, who was targeted not only by a mainstream music industry that found their blatant use of faith-based lyrics unfitting with heavy metal, but also by religious extremists who believed their music was the work of the devil - confronted by death threats, picketers and protests throughout their career. The film marks the directorial debut of filmmaker Paul Michael Bloodgood. Executive produced by Oscar and Grammy winner James Moll (Foo Fighters: Back and Forth).
