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".

Le documentaire présente la vie de Tupac Amaru Shakur du point de vue du rappeur lui-même. Narrateur et protagoniste du film, il raconte sa vie, ses actions et son art avec ses propres mots. Un peu différent du DVD "Thug Angel", mais beaucoup plus apprécié.

As most of those who follow the Rastafarian faith do, Snoop decided to go through a transformation into his new self; his new, Rastafarian self. Reincarnated documents Snoop Dogg’s transition into Snoop Lion, which involved him taking a trip to Jamaica to make a reggae album and discover more about the Rastafarian faith. The documentary starts out by exploring Snoop’s past; his time on Death Row Records, the loss of his friends Tupac and Nate Dogg, and the murder accusation. The focus then shifts to his spiritual journey and new style of music. While in Jamaica, Snoop collaborated with a few famous reggae artists, including Bunny Wailer and Diplo, to create the Reincarnated (album), which focuses on love and nonviolence. Wailer was Snoop’s guide throughout the trip, leading him through his journey into Rastafarianism. The film includes many intimate moments with Snoop, where he discusses his personal thoughts and reasons for becoming Rasta. The documentary also includes the heavy marijuana smoking in which Snoop participated, which is a common practice among Rastafarians, and a common stereotype of how they practice their faith as well.
