A documentary covering 2021’s Astroworld tragedy in which 10 people died and hundreds were injured during a crowd surge at Travis Scott’s set will be screened this week.
The film, shot by documentarian Charlie Minn, is set to brandish the name Concert Crush: The Travis Scott Festival Tragedy.
Concert Crush will be screened this week in 11 cities across Texas where the event took place, despite pushback and protest from lawyers and the festival’s promoters, Live Nation.
Lawyers have claimed that the documentary could sway the jury who will go up in court to hear cases against both Scott and Live Nation, arguing that it might “taint the jury pool”. A gag order was placed.
While the documentary remains unbiased, with director Minn telling The Associated Press that it in no way is meant to act as a “hit piece toward Travis Scott”, Live Nation’s lawyers claimed that one attorney filing suits against the rapper has co-produced the film.
