Arena: Pete Doherty

Pete Doherty has become the British press's favourite rock renegade. His life is exhaustively documented in terms of his addiction problems and his relationship with Kate Moss. Arena follows Pete Doherty and Babyshambles over the last six months, starting with a night in his flat, followed by a tour of the UK and Europe, the recording of an EP, and Doherty entering The Priory to try to tackle his drug addiction. As well as interviews with friends, the film features intimate conversations with Doherty himself. The music ranges from Pete Doherty's own and Libertines/Babyshambles material to versions of Dirty Old Town, (with Shane McGowan), The Clash's Janie Jones and Radiohead's High and Dry.
