Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo is a 2005 film documentary directed by Adrian Callender describing the experiences of Sum 41, as they take a break from the music to join War Child Canada in traveling to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for a look at the African country where the rage of war has held a population in fear since 1998.
Before being caught in the middle of a battle between rebel soldiers and government troops, band members Deryck, Steve, Cone, and Dave meet with Congolese children to whom death had become a way of life.

Rocked is an unscripted account of an African country in turmoil as seen through the eyes of rock band, Sum 41. The war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been characterized as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises and the most deadly war ever documented in Africa. The film crew follows the musical group, Sum 41, as they meet Congolese children and youth caught in the crossfire, including child soldiers and victims of assault. Sum 41's harrowing experience is caught on film as they witness firsthand what it is like to struggle for survival in a country where, since 1998, more than three million people have been killed and war has been more prevalent than peace. Dr. Eric Hoskins, President of War Child Canada, and Dr. Samantha Nutt, Executive Director of War Child Canada, are the Executive Producers of "Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo". They accompanied Sum 41 to DRC in May 2004. Canadian peacekeeper Chuck Pelletier helped Sum 41 evacuate from DRC. He is the namesake of the grateful band's October 2004 album release, "Chuck".

Une méditation intime et émouvante sur le regretté musicien et artiste Kurt Cobain, basée sur plus de 25 heures d'entretiens audio inédits réalisés avec Cobain par le célèbre journaliste musical Michael Azerrad pour son livre «Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana». Dans le film, Kurt Cobain raconte sa propre vie - de son enfance et de son adolescence à ses jours de découvertes musicales et plus tard aux prises avec une célébrité explosive - et offre souvent des aperçus perçants de sa vie, de sa musique et de son époque. Les conversations entendues dans le film n'ont jamais été rendues publiques auparavant et elles révèlent un portrait très personnel d'un artiste très discuté mais pas particulièrement bien compris.

The film features people from Berlin's electronic dance music scenes (primarily house music and techno, but especially their “minimal” sub-scenes). The majority of the film consists of footage of individual interviews, cut and interpolated together to create narratives around certain themes, such as music, drugs, love, addiction, friendship, and sexuality. Among the interviewees were DJs, bouncers, bartenders, and partygoers.
