rdf:langString Look Away by Sky Documentaries is a documentary about sexual abuse of young girls in the rock music industry. The film's title comes from a track of the same name on Iggy Pop's 1996 album Naughty Little Doggie, which is a "tribute" to one of the most famous "baby groupies" on Sunset Strip in the 70s, Sable Starr. The track of the same name mentions in its lyrics that Pop slept with Starr when she was 13, and people really did look away from it, with none of the reviews of that album remarking the lyrics. Look Away is built round extensive interviews with Kari Krome, the Runaways' bass guitarist Jackie Fuchs, and Julia Holcomb. The documentary describes several rapes and other sexual abuse, including a detailed account of the alleged rape of Jackie Fuchs by her bands then manager Kim Fowley, tells the story of the relationship between Julia Holcomb and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, and offers interviews of other people with experiences of sexual abuse in the United States rock scene in the 70s and 80s including a story by model Sheila Kennedy in which she recounts being victim of a sexual assault by Axl Rose of Guns 'N Roses in the late 1980s. According to interview of director Sophie Cunningham by the Sky News, the point of the document "is not necessarily about seeking justice in the legal sense, but having a voice – and trying to instigate change. Although we are focusing on a certain era in this film, the music industry is still functioning in a very, very similar way."
