## Resource

A new documentary, “The Pretenders,” premiering at TIFF, dives into the raw, rebellious spirit of the iconic band—focusing on Chrissie Hynde’s journey from Akron to rock stardom, lineup chaos, and tragic losses. Director Joss Crowley pulled off a rare final interview with Hynde, who famously avoids the spotlight and hasn’t even seen the film. Through Stan Tippins’ diary entries and Hynde’s unfiltered ethos, the doc celebrates artistic integrity over fame, honoring her devotion to music and admiration for icons like Lemmy and Neil Young who stayed true to themselves.
