It's been exactly one week since an Eagles of Death Metal concert at Paris's Le Bataclan became the site of a terrorist attack, and everyone is still picking up the pieces. Yesterday (November 19), the rock group issued a statement about the attack. Today, the BBC reports that a film on the band has been pulled from an upcoming festival.
From November 18 to 29, Amsterdam will host the 2015 edition of the International Documentary Film Festival. Of the many features set to air was The Redemption of the Devil, a new film about Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes.
The film was directed by Alex Hoffman and produced by VICE. It follows Hughes as he turns 40, becomes a Catholic minister and records what would become the band's Zipper Down LP. You can watch a trailer for the documentary below.
According to the BBC, festival organizers thought the timing of the documentary felt inappropriate.
