Great documentary on the life of Joe Strummer, frontman of The Clash. Doesn't just cover the Clash period, but growing up, lead-up to The Clash, and subsequent bands and life.
Interesting interviews with a rather varied bunch of celebrities, indicating Strummer and The Clash's influence. Some the interviews are a bit unnecessary, and are just padding, eg Johnny Depp and John Cusack. Most of the rest are insightful though - even Bono has something unpretentious and useful to say.
Great music, especially rare live footage of The Clash and Strummer's other bands.
I guess you have to be a fan of The Clash, as I am, to appreciate this. If you are, well worth the watch.
