The Libertines: There Are No Innocent Bystanders: preview Directed by long-time collaborator and friend Roger Sargent, There Are No Innocent Bystanders follows The Libertines in the run-up to their reunion shows at London Forum and the Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2010. The documentary features interviews with Pete Doherty and Carl Barât, footage of the band's practice sessions before the reunion shows, and photographs of the band, all of which were taken by Sargent himself. Speaking about the focus of the film Sargent said: "To be honest I had no preconceptions, no plan before making the film or what it was going to say, because I had no idea what would happen. They're not the sort of band you can plan with. The story would be the story that happened. As a Libertines' fan it was a joy to behold; Carl bobbing and weaving his way across the stage, Pete missing his lines, John stoically playing his bass next to his anarchic brethren, and Gary relentlessly pounding away on the drums behind them. The Libertines only released two albums (Up the Bracket, 2002, and The Libertines, 2004) and yet their influence was astonishing. Sargent says, "They are a band that changed popular culture. There are whole fashion houses that base their collections on Peter's look. The fiery friendship between Doherty and Barât was built on a love of creating honest, brash, literate rock and roll, but it was also a relationship that seemed to be tested on an almost daily basis by addiction, media intrusion and creative differences. There Are No Innocent Bystanders shines a light on this fragile relationship and the band's connection with their devoted fans. Then from 25 April the film will tour around the country in various music venues and the DVD is released on 30 April 2012.
