BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT

description

Opening Night Film! The story of how two college students found solidarity in their weirdness, recruited likeminded misfits, and formed the legendary American punk band, Butthole Surfers.

Through exhaustive interviews, archival footage, cutting-edge animation and graphics, surreal reenactments, and more, BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT is a film in the anarchic spirit of the band. Irreverent and funny, but also sincere and heartfelt at times, the documentary invites the post-punk rock legends to look back on their strange and extraordinary lives. This isn't a hagiography; it's the hole truth and nothing butt, warts and all: sex, drugs, rock and roll, the beautiful, the ugly, and the weird.
