A brief look at two Barry Jenkins films that have established him as one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.
Heavy Metal Jr.
Five Scottish lads, ages 10 to 13, get ready for a public performance with their heavy metal band, "Hatred." They rehearse, fire their bass player, audition for a new one, make a CD at a recording studio, and appear at a family fun day. One of the dads is their manager; we hear from him and one of the moms at whose house they rehearse. The lads talk about their playing, singing, and song writing. The gig is a success and all the CDs sell.
