During its runtime, raw experiences heard from all sides of the conversation are laid bare during its 77 minute runtime.

In Excess: The Death of Michael Hutchence

Documentary from the UK's Channel 4 investigating the death of INXS lead vocalist Michael Hutchence, which exclusively revealed information presented to the coroner in a police report which had not been made public at the official hearing - and explores the rumor which suggested that Hutchence died accidentally while engaged in a bizarre sex act. The documentary also features his last partner Paula Yates speaking on British television for the first time about what she believed led to the death of her lover. She talks candidly about their sex life, his passion for adventure and how the birth of their daughter turned the rock and roll wild man into a devoted father. Yates was not satisfied with the coroner's verdict and felt strongly that further investigation into the events of that night were crucial to both her and her daughter's future well-being.
