Noteworthy
Leto concisely describes the full-spectrum dominance of the corporatocracy at points.
Decentralized alternatives and solutions to the Big Music Industry are touched on, though not with as much detail nor as many examples as I would have liked.
Chester Bennington of Linkin Park is in this movie discussing the oppression of the corporatocracy. He was an outspoken activist against systemic child abuse and he was suicided.
While it looks like much of this was shot in Laurel Canyon at the Lookout Mountain Laboratory, a former military base with a secret Hollywood film studio and processing lab, that was bought by Leto in 2015 - after this documentary was released. Some suspect the Zapurder film of the JFK assassination was "processed" and altered/manipulated there. Some also suspect there was a lot of tradecraft, spycraft, blackmailing etc. Between the secret productions and Leto it was a rehab clinic. https://www.elledecor.com/celebrity-style/celebrity-homes/news/a467/jared-leto-los-angeles-military-compound/ ; more: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Jared+Leto+bought+military+compound
