rockumentary
Music group chronicle
A rockumentary is a documentary film about rock music, typically following a band or musician on tour, in the studio, or through their career.
The term blends "rock" and "documentary": The rockumentary captured the chaos of their 1972 tour.
The format ranges from concert films to intimate behind-the-scenes portraits.
