I just watched a documentary that I'm still processing in my head, because it's so incredible, called Finding Joseph, the HR from Bad Brains Documentary.

If you don't know anything about Bad Brains, they were possibly the most exciting live band — ever. And H.R., "Human Rights" (born Paul Hudson) was the most wildly enthusiastic, talented, amazing front person of the D.C. hardcore band Bad Brains.

Finding Joseph I: The HR from Bad Brains Documentary is directed by James Lathos and is available for streaming on YouTube, Hulu and Amazon.
