SUMMARY:Hot Docs: The Ballad Of Judas Priest
DESCRIPTION:Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival presents t
 he Canadian Premiere of The Ballad Of Judas Priest by directors Tom Morell
 o and Sam Dunn.\n\nOver the span of 50 years\, Judas Priest pioneered and 
 continues to define the heavy metal genre\, releasing 19 studio albums and
  performing in sold-out arenas for one of the most dedicated band fan base
 s. A group of English blokes coming from working-class Birmingham\, the ba
 nd’s blistering message of rebellion resonated and popularity soared—b
 ut so did the voices of detractors\, who falsely accused them of breaking 
 the law and of embedding subliminal messages in their music amid the Satan
 ic panic of the 1980s. Band members are keen to delve into their past\, sh
 aring previously unreleased material from their personal archives\, but it
 ’s frontman Rob Halford’s story of coming out on MTV and being met wit
 h acceptance that really showcases the inclusive spirit of metal. Co-direc
 tor Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine gives the band their flowers i
 n a film featuring rock royalty like Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, Metallic
 a’s Kirk Hammett\, Run-DMC’s Darryl McDaniels\, Smashing Pumpkins fron
 tman Billy Corgan and the late great Ozzy Osbourne.\n\ncost: $20-$22 at Ho
 t Docs\n\nmore info: Hot Docs
