Which documentary covers the making of Metallica’s The Black Album and its following tour?

The story behind the answer

A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica covers the making of The Black Album and its following tour.

The documentary is divided into two parts. The first follows the recording process and the band’s difficult relationship with producer Bob Rock, including work on songs such as “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” and “Nothing Else Matters.”

The second part follows the band on tour, including performances and appearances connected with the Wherever We May Roam Tour and the 1992 stadium tour with Guns N’ Roses. Together, the two parts run for roughly 236 minutes.

Adam Dubin directed the documentary, which was released as a double VHS package on November 17, 1992. It is distinct from Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, the 2004 documentary focused on the creation of St. Anger.
