Aroview: A flawed but fascinating glimpse into the world of rock groupies (both male and female) during the heyday of psychedelia in 1969.

Though managing little critical insight, candid footage of the variously brazen, insecure and attention-seeking persons involved says it all really, and is both amusing and depressing. The objects of their attention - the rock-stars - come off no better when they're backstage either! Features some good live footage of Ten Years After, Joe Cocker, Terry Reid and Spooky Tooth.
