Here's a link to the film and wikipedia info.
MC5 A True Testimonial Sixties Detroit Rock] - YouTube
MC5: A True Testimonial, also written as MC5 * A True Testimonial, is a 2002 feature-length documentary film about MC5, a Detroit-based rock band of the 1960s and early 1970s. The film was produced by Laurel Legler and directed by David C. Thomas; the couple spent more than seven years working on the project.[1]
Although MC5 are considered very influential today, they were relatively obscure in their time.[1] To make the film, Thomas collected photographs and film clips of varying quality, including U.S. government surveillance footage of MC5's performance at the protests that took place outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.[2] He interviewed the surviving members of the band and people closely associated with it.[2] In the editing room, Thomas matched the band's recordings to the silent footage he had collected.[3]
