Soaked in Bleach

In 1994, Kurt Cobain was riding at the top of the world as the creative genius behind one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. However, the singer-songwriter was notoriously plagued by personal demons, struggling with depression and substance abuse. Worn down by the rigours of fame and the pressure of the mainstream music industry, Kurt Cobain took his own life.

Soaked in Bleach challenges this established narrative of Cobain’s death as a suicide. The documentary features interviews with various individuals connected to the circumstances surrounding his death, including private investigator Tom Grant (who was hired by Cobain’s wife, Courtney Love, to find him shortly before his body was discovered), former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper, and Rosemary Carroll, who served as attorney to both Cobain and Love. The film examines inconsistencies in the theory that the Nirvana singer succumbed to depression and killed himself, instead exploring the possibility that foul play may have been involved.
