"Global Metal aims to exhibit the impact of globalization on the heavy metal music in addition to how differing people from different cultures are changing heavy metal music.
The is a Headbanger's Journey. Sam Dunn plays himself, a 30-years old anthropologist. He's additionally a long term metal fan. After many years of studying diverse cultures, Sam turns his academic eye just a little nearer to home and embarks with an epic journey in to the heart of heavy metal. His mission: to understand why metal music is consistently stereotyped, ignored and condemned, whilst the tribe that loves it stubbornly holds its ground - distributing the term, keeping the belief and implementing the styles and attitudes which go way at night music.
Sam visits heavy metal landmarks as far flung as L.A.'s Sunset Strip, the dirty roads of Birmingham, and also the dark forests of Norwegian. On the way, both sides of Sam Dunn - curious anthropologist and rabid fan – collide, as Sam explores metals's dependence on sexuality, religion, violence, and dying, meets his heroes, and finds out the main things concerning the culture that even he can't defend. Part social document, part celebration of the misinterpreted talent, this documentary may be the beginning of it's kind: an opportunity for metal fans to talk out along with a window right into a culture that's much more complex than it seems to be."
