Nickelback’s documentary, ‘Love To Hate: Nickelback,’ is gearing up for its global cinematic release following a successful premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
‘Love To Hate: Nickelback’ gives a view of the band’s long journey from starting out to becoming world-famous. The film closely looks at how, even though they became hugely successful, they were also heavily criticized and made fun of by some people in the rock world during their early years of fame. The band said the following in a statement:
“We are very excited to finally bring this film to theatres this Spring. It’s been a long road to get this project across the finish line, and we must thank Ben Jones and Leigh Brooks for all of their hard work. We hope everyone enjoys our story, fans, friends, or otherwise.”
