There Are No Innocent Bystanders - was a full feature music documentary which was screened in various cinemas in January 2012. The film is an in depth look at The Libertines' tumultuous career as a band. Featuring interviews from the whole band - but focusing more heavily on the songwriting duo Pete & Carl throughout the film - showing the places where The Libertines' lived, ate and played their first gigs at. As well as these interviews we also see the band rehearse together for the first time in numerous years - all leading up to their return to Reading & Leeds festival in 2010.
The film tries to keep a sense of "will they, won't they" which never seems to really come off - throughout the film the audience always knows that they well; but that is not what keeps this documentary riveting. That is because it is interesting for interests sake - like a lot of documentaries, you know what the ending will be, however it is still watchable because of the insight you gain into the subject which is the focus of the documentary.
