Disgorge Mexico: The DVD is the first video release by Canadian grindcore band Fuck the Facts. The DVD has two parts. The first part is a multi-camera recording of the August 2, 2008 concert in which the band performed their then-newest album Disgorge Mexico live in its entirety. The second part is Disgorge, Mexico: The Movie, a film made by Canadian filmmaker David Hall that is set to the studio recordings of Disgorge Mexico.[1] It includes all of the selections from the album except the first track "Borders."
The film is described by Hall as "a substance abuse art house riff on the destructive and volatile nature of love." The film follows a woman's strange journey with a violent, hallucinatory depiction.[2] On November 5, Metal Injection debuted a clip from the film featuring the song "Kelowna." A quote included with the clip provided information about the content of the film:
Blood, crotch, cult, barns and snow. A young woman finds herself in Disgorge, Mexico for the first time. How her hands came to be covered in blood she does not know. She walks a few steps then panics as four beautiful people wearing white, hooded robes descend on her body to debauch her soul to fuckdust. She is one of them now.[3]
— David Hall
