Film delves into inner world of famed Chinese rock band

A documentary on Chinese rock band Miserable Faith opens with reggae legend Bob Marley's words: "Love the life you live, live the life you love."

The film, Because It's There, which was released in Beijing on Jan 6, is based on the band's tour of a dozen Chinese cities in the past summer. It is as much about live performances and music fans as it is about conflicts among band members and other general problems with the country's rock scene.

"This documentary is candid. We don't want to present our lives as 'too good to be true'," says Gao Hu, band founder and the lead vocalist. "Everything is real, on the stage, behind the scenes, with the fans and being lonely."
