A journey through the 1980s and beyond; the story of a band, an era and how one small gathering of outsiders in London shaped the entire world’s view of music and fashion. The film is not only a fascinating, often hard-hitting social and cultural document of the time, but a brutally honest story of how friendships can be won, lost and ultimately regained.
Production
Incredible archive footage of Thatcher-era London youth.
Editing
Band's silence periods hit harder than any interview.
Sound
Every hit still absolutely slaps, fight me.
