I was a punk kid back in the 1980's but have to admit that, although I thought The Clash were good, I found them a little too serious and preferred the likes of the Sex Pistols and The Damned. This documentary explains why they were more political than most other punk bands. As always Julien Temple does a good job. It features contributions from many famous faces but would have been nice to have had their names subtitled when they first appear, there were a few who I was unsure of their names.
Whether you like punk or not but are interesting in the story of rock music then this is pretty much essential viewing.
