Incredible decorations and terrifying consequences. The Astroworld Festival claimed ten people’s lives. Most recently, Ezra Blount’s family refused to take Scott’s offer of funeral cost coverage. Significantly, half of the victims’ families did too. ABC13 shot the ‘Astroworld: Concert from Hell’ documentary. This documentary is now available on Hulu.
Half of the movie is dedicated to the concert’s detailed description. The other is about victims and their families.
The picture jumps into action immediately, providing the audience with news and phone footage from the first seconds. What is meant to be the movie’s beginning comes up only after several action-filled minutes.
The official start is also a news report, which comes up after the movie’s concluding thought. Once again, the conclusion is put in the beginning and expressed by the motion picture’s guest.
Is it appropriate to experiment when reporting on tragic events? It’s definitely revolutionary.
The raw footage in the movie clearly translates the crowd mood. Rush madness almost immediately switched to happy interviews of the people who are waiting for the show. “You wish you were here,” one of the visitors assured. Then it’s back to madness. This time much worse.
Carefully picked montage with dramatic music in documentaries works in its own ways. Raw footage of the Astroworld concert stampede from Insta stories does the job more effectively.
The movie does its job overall too, both in terms of reporting and emotional delivery. ABC13 presented the complete picture of Astroworld concert events and a range of people’s reactions.
The Beam Of Humanity And The Astroworld Concert Disaster
The unfortunate start sank in interviews of happy people walking around the Astroworld location and enjoying the retro amusements. However, some immediately went to the stage five hours before the show.
Imagine staying under the heat for five hours, waiting for your favorite artist. People in Houston say Scott is an icon there. After five hours full of adrenaline and the sun heat, spectators of the were already not in the most superb condition.
Before the show and at its beginning, the crowd went crazy. Many suffocated and tried to escape; some didn’t manage to. Eventually, ambulances and police started to interfere. Some people also helped to get others over the fence. Many lives were saved by the simple Astroworld concert crowd.
Meanwhile, At The Concert Stage…
Houston PD and Live Nation kept receiving reports on massive surge. Around the same time, Travis Scott brought Drake on stage. The movie also shows the footage of Scott’s fan explaining the situation to the cameraman. He looks annoyed. Is it because of having to ask Mr.Scott himself to stop the fatally dangerous show?
The court potentially might drop the charges against Scott. “You can be a very violent person in an area where there was a fight, but not have thrown a punch,” Scott’s lawyer claimed.
This can also be “significant for the community,” as the movie claims. Post a black-and-white video with apologies. Or even cure depression with your music, as one of the fans assures. You can still go on with the show and end it with 10 fatal casualties.
I can then write on the Astroworld concert tragedy. Get more readers through 10 people’s deaths, even if I just want to inform.
Hulu vs. Twitter
The Twitter crowd is unhappy with the new movie. Some assumed Hulu produced the picture.
“Hulu really moved fast as hell to make a documentary and named it Astroworld: Concert from Hell,” Jonathan Tucker pointed out. “I am crying at everyone trying to make their profit from that event.”

Others, like @KimCommie, claimed the documentary has “no type of structural analysis & they didnt interview the RN who said medics there were undertrained.” “Shit seemed directed by Live Nation/Travis Scott himself,” @KimCommie also complained in the end.
The Astroworld: Concert from Hell doc on Hulu puts blame on concert goers ‘not caring’-no type of structural analysis & they didnt interview the RN who said medics there were undertrained, under staffed & HPD was useless. Shit seemed directed by Live Nation/Travis Scott himself😩

Petty Slimane wrote multiple paragraphs regarding the issue; consequently, she got the most likes under her tweet.
“Hulu making a documentary about Astroworld is in poor taste all around. Great documentaries are done when all the facts are laid out. Not enough time has passed to fully discuss this,”- is a short sum-up of Slimane’s quotes. Read below for more.

People are still burying their loved ones. The legal cases haven’t even started.

Hulu spokesperson already talked to Variety. “This was an investigative local news special from ABC13/KTRK-TV in Houston that originally aired on November 20th. The spokesperson concluded that this was not a Hulu documentary and has since been removed to avoid confusion,” the spokesperson concluded.
The movie is still available on ABC13 website and in above in this article.
