Biography: I Want My MTV DVD | Documentary | Region 4

DVD Region 4
This documentary special charts the rise of a cultural phenomenon that came to define a generation: MTV. What started during the nascent days of cable television as a scrappy, playful music video line-up, rapidly evolved into a reflection of American youth culture. As MTV came of age, the network pushed the boundaries of art, sex, gender and race, while cementing its image to celebrity. “I Want My MTV” weaves together exclusive interviews with the network’s founders and VJs, journalists and artists, including Sting, Pat Benatar, Billy Idol, Annie Lennox, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and more, along with rarely seen archival footage and outtakes, to paint a fun, fascinating picture of a music channel that would influence the global media landscape for decades to come.
