On This Date: March 5, 2011

On this date in 2011, at the Smith Rafael Theater in San Rafael, Californina, Justin and Metallica’s James Hetfield came together for the first of several sold out screenings that the two would attend together for Justin’s documentary feature, Absent. It was the first of two films that the pair would collaborate on, the second film Addicted to Porn: Chasing the Cardboard Butterfly, Hetfield would narrate.

Absent would eventually be distributed in over 70 countries and a dozen languages around the world.
