This documentary was produced by The Apologetics Group - a christian society, but even if you are not a religious person it can be well interesting for you. It considers many aspects of a music genre which used to dominate our culture in the recent past.

Hells Bells (classic)..Journey through the dark side of rock as Hell’s Bells unmasks the message behind rock music. The film examines the relationship of rock music to sex, violence, suicide, drug use, rebellion, the occult, and other activities considered immoral by Biblical Theology. The music in the documentary is music produced prior to the nineties. The film portrays various lyrics and visual imagery in rock music and rock stars as evidence that it is satanic or anti christian.
