The Moshville Times - Hate to Love: Nickelback documentary coming to cinemas for two nights

Trafalgar Releasing, Gimme Sugar Productions, and Submarine Entertainment announced plans today to bring Hate To Love: Nickelback, a feature-length documentary film about one of Canada’s most iconic and globally celebrated rock bands, to cinemas worldwide for two nights only on March 27 and March 30.

Premiering last September at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Hate To Love: Nickelback tells the authentic story about the band from their humble beginnings in Hanna, Alberta, to their explosive global success in 2001 and the highs and lows that followed. Directed by Leigh Brooks and produced by Ben Jones, the film celebrates the loyalty of Nickelback fans and delves into the years of online vitriol while exposing the personal impact it had on each of the band . The film also unveils the rock group’s decision to return after a 5-year break with a new record and a hugely successful sold-out tour, finding themselves riding a sudden wave of online love that has introduced their music to an army of new fans and audiences worldwide.

We are very excited to finally bring this film to theatres this Spring. It’s been a long road to get this project across the finish line and we must thank Ben Jones and Leigh Brooks for all of their hard work. We hope everyone enjoys our story, fans, friends or otherwise.

We are both really excited to finally share this film with the fans around the world in such a huge and special theatrical event. We think their patience will be worth the wait.
