But in the persecution of this dream, however, it hits fate. The film follows closely to Schmier And his band while the pandemic hits and, after a fateful turn of events, everything is at stake. The film was filmed over five years, which gave rise to an exclusive material that distinguishes it from traditional documentaries, full of interviews.

The film shows without concessions which means being a heavy metal musician -among small and sweaty clubs and huge outdoor scenarios -allowing an authentic vision of the nucleus of one of the most indisputably important, influential and challenging bands of the Thrash genre metal.
The film will premiere in Berlin on March 6, with the presence of the band and the filmmakers. Be sure to get your tickets here.
Denise Dörner About the movie:
«This documentary is not a cheerful musical clip, but a very serious story about passion and life. I would never have imagined even in my wildest dreams that our idea could be done so well, although the circumstances would disrupt everything completely. They allowed me to look between racks, travel with Destruction and empathize with them. I met my idols and many interesting people and I also felt the whole range of emotions. I am very excited to see what people will think and feel about this trip ».
Ilija Jelusic duck:
«As a shooting team, we had a very good connection with Schmier and Destructionthat trusted us a lot. The film was made without order and without film financing. That means we had to finance everything ourselves, which also entailed a great risk. During the pandemic, none of us knew what would happen next and where the story of the film would go. Of course, it was also a very exciting time for us, filmmakers. And then one adventure followed the next and suddenly we went to Mexico. I am deeply grateful for the experiences we could live with Destruction«.
