Soaked in Bleach

Docudrama – a mix of investigative documentary and re-enactments – on the events leading up to the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. His cause of death is seen through the eyes of private investigator Tom Grant who claimed the police got it wrong, that it was not suicide but murder.

Grant was hired by Courtney Love, Cobain's wife, in 1994 to track down her missing husband just days before his deceased body was found at their Seattle home. Ruled a suicide by the police (a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound), Grant couldn't shake doubts of the legitimacy of this ruling. In his own investigation, Grant determined there was significant empirical and circumstantial evidence to conclude that foul play could very well have occurred. Also features interviews with key experts and witnesses, and an examination of official artefacts from the case.
