Doug and the Slugs and Me

Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at 8:30 pmYukon Theatre

A POV documentary following filmmaker Teresa Alfeld's journey uncovering the story of her childhood best friend's dad, Doug Bennett, leader of the legendary 1980s Canadian party band Doug and the Slugs.

More than just another rock doc, this film is as much a bittersweet commentary on the elusive nature of success in the music industry, that energizing, enervating altar for ambition and despair. It also becomes a very touching reverie about friendship, its limitations and considerable consolations – as well as a fun time portal to the Vancouver of the late 70s and 80s.
