Documentary filmmaker Charlie Minn has released his new film “Concert Crush,” which details the November 2021 Astroworld tragedy. It features several interviews with Astroworld attendees as well as real footage from the event. According to Minn, Travis Scott, the rapper at the forefront of the tragedy, should be behind bars.
Speaking to Page Six, Minn said, “Travis Scott to me is a punk. In my opinion, he is a criminal.” He added, “Ten people died. How do we get around that?” Minn went on to say that Scott deserves jail time because he claims that Scott knew what was unfolding at his show. “He acknowledged an ambulance in the crowd. He noticed people passed out and stopped the show on three occasions,” he claimed to Page Six. “I’m not saying he knew people were dead, but he knew there was a problem. An ambulance is not an ice cream truck.”
According to the Associated Press, Live Nation lawyers worried the release of Minn’s documentary could “taint the jury pool,” and claimed a lawyer involved in the joint lawsuit co-produced the film. Despite lawyers’ concerns, the doc is now showing in several Texas cities and is available to stream online. Minn argued that he strived to make a balanced film, telling the AP, “My job is to make the most truthful, honest, sincere documentary from the victim’s point of view … We need to know about these stories to prevent it from happening again.”
