Jared Leto: 'The music industry needs to be more transparent'

30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto has revealed that he hopes fans will check out his documentary 'Artifact' because it shows a side to the music industry they won't otherwise ever be exposed to.

His band was famously caught up in a $30 million lawsuit, which was filed against them by former label EMI and Leto captured the case on screen for the movie. Speaking to Variety about the project, Leto explained that he wants people to watch it so that they can see what the industry is really like:

"I hope that artists and audiences watch this film and get a greater understanding of how things work in the music industry, because understanding is the beginning of change. Inevitably, we're all moving toward what I hope is a more transparent system."

'Artifact' will make its US television debut on VH1 and Palladia networks on April 26 and Leto hopes that the broadcast will help to change the way the business works
