Currently streaming on Netflix, the gripping documentary titled “Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy” has left a profound impact on me. I was not prepared for the emotional depth it would evoke, and surprisingly, it instilled a sense of fear in me despite my extensive concert-going experience. With thousands of concerts under my belt, attending five to six shows weekly at one point, and even before I embarked on my career writing about music, I have always enjoyed the concert scene. Over the years, I’ve witnessed every type of performance, artist, and audience. However, this documentary managed to stir emotions and fear within me that I didn’t anticipate.
Over time, I’ve found myself in less than pleasant groups. From disorganized events like festivals to clubs operating as music venues that were more fire hazards than safe spaces, there have been instances where the crowd behavior gave me a sense of unease. My first night at college was particularly unnerving when Green Day performed at a free concert in Boston, resulting in police in riot gear dispersing crowds on the streets. However, none of these experiences compare to the sheer terror experienced by attendees of Travis Scott’s AstroWorld Festival in 2022, and this chilling atmosphere hangs heavy throughout the entire documentary.
Minutes Into The Doc, My Reaction Was Visceral
In no time at all, the documentary “Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy” manages to unsettle viewers, and I can attest that it left me shaken. What stands out most in this production, part of the “Trainwreck” series slated for 2025 on Netflix, is the footage captured by spectators amidst the chaos of the crowd, a sight which triggered an unease within me that persisted throughout the film. The cries and entreaties from the audience are incredibly distressing to both see and hear. I’ve never witnessed anything quite like it.
The compelling nature of this documentary, which grabbed my attention from the start and didn’t let go, is what makes it an outstanding film as well as a genuinely chilling viewing experience. Despite not being able to fully grasp the emotions of the victims – whether they survived or perished – the documentary manages to evoke a small fraction of their experiences, and that’s a feeling I never want to have more of.
The Emotional Toll Was Heavy, Even For Me
I wasn’t planning on getting emotional while watching this documentary, but it ended up moving me deeply. Despite being aware of the seriousness of the event then and now, I hadn’t anticipated such an emotional impact. Instead, I thought I would be observing objectively, like a reporter, but that didn’t turn out to be the case at all.
Instead, their survivor accounts and interviews with loved ones of the deceased deeply moved me, leaving me in tears by the end. My anger was directed towards the concert organizers, as expected, but the victims’ plight left me speechless. This documentary is one that I wholeheartedly recommend, but be prepared for an emotionally challenging viewing experience.
