Chrissie Hynde reluctantly makes Pretenders documentary

Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders, participated in a documentary about her band despite her dislike for cameras and self-mythologizing. The film, directed by Joss Crowley, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada. Hynde agreed to the project to have some say in its content, but she won't watch it. She expressed that she just wanted to be in a band and that music has gone backwards due to media and social media. The documentary is described as anti-cliche and anti-gushing.
