Police Documentary


I saw this on Billboard this morning and got excited. Apparently a documentary on the Police will be released on DVD March 28. The film originally appeared in last month's Sundance Film Festival. A documentary on this band is well overdue. And because it's based on many of Stewart Copeland's home videos, I am curious to see band dynamic on camera.

"It's very cheerful," he said of the footage. In fact, when he looked for scenes to accompany his narration about the band's demise, he could not find shots "of us looking pissed off at each other." However, he admitted, "I put my camera down the last year or two. I felt like I should be living it instead of shooting it."
