Advantages: useful interviews,information Disadvantages: finding out Courtney Love has rights over most of Nirvana's music
Any fan of Kurt Cobain( Lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana) and knowing some background on Kurt's death (supposidly suicide) ;watching this Nick Broomfield documentary, sheds light on the time around Kurt's death :- Wether he was suicidal or not.

It all started in Atlanta; the summer of 1996 was the time; Atlanta was the venue that Kurt Angle tryed out for the Olympics; despite breaking his neck and with it not 100 percent healed he attempted to win the tryouts with only a week of tryouts - but he won! and the rest is history! Kurt went on to win the Olympic Gold Medal in Atlanta! the only man in American history to do this in his weight class! that is a true honour to a great athlete!
Then he became a WWF Superstar; a series of vignettes aired before his first appearance to hype him up; he did not recieve a rousing ovation to say the least ...
