Truth About Rock is a fascinating dive into the clash between faith and a music culture that's often dismissed by traditional values. Directed by David P. Morgan, it captures the earnestness of the Peters brothers, who genuinely believe that rock music is a vehicle for darker forces. The pacing can feel a bit disjointed at times, but it adds to the raw, almost chaotic energy of their crusade. The interviews are striking—some kids burn their albums, while others push back against this religious fervor. It's not just about music; it’s about the cultural divide of the late '80s. The low-budget aesthetic gives it an unvarnished feel, which complements the intense themes of morality and rebellion. Definitely a unique piece from that era.
