The acclaimed Nickelback documentary ‘Hate to Love: The Nickelback Story’ is set for Blu-ray release on January 16 via Bit Bot Media. Directed by Leigh Brooks, the film offers an unflinching look at the Canadian rock band’s meteoric rise, global success, and the cultural backlash that made them one of the most polarizing yet enduring acts in modern music. Presented as a region-free deluxe Blu-ray Mediabook, the release includes a 20-page collector’s booklet packed with behind-the-scenes photos, tour flyers, and essays, as well as an outtakes reel of candid interviews, backstage moments, and extended scenes.
Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023 and later showing as a limited two-night cinematic event, ‘Hate to Love: The Nickelback Story’ has since found a new audience on Netflix. With open and honest reflections from the band, the documentary peels back the layers of fame, criticism, and perseverance, showcasing Nickelback’s legacy not just as hitmakers but as cultural survivors. The Blu-ray release invites fans and critics alike to revisit the band’s journey in full colour and sound—warts, riffs, and all.
