At a time between 1971 and 1973, just imagine this: David Bowie was considered a one-hit wonder, Lou Reed was washed up, and Iggy was a drug-crazed ex-Stooge. And that was it. The three converged together creatively to sort of help one another's careers, but of course also helping their own careers.

The documentary, The Sacred Triangle: Bowie, Iggy & Lou, 1971 – 1973 explores this unique friendship. The film is directed by Alec Lindsell and it's available on Amazon Prime.
