JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN

A film that should appeal to anyone who enjoys music documentaries, ever listened to The Clash, or who would like to watch something that is just a little bit different.

This biopic about Joe Strummer, frontman for The Clash, contains never seen before footage including studio sessions, archive and early childhood footage, interviews with Strummer disciples such as Martin Scorsesi, Bono, members of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and friends new and old.

Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship that developed over the last years of Joe's life, Julien Temple's film is a celebration of Joe Strummer – before, during and after the Clash.

The film was released in cinema's in 2007, and was co-edited by Offord Darcy man Tobias Zaldua. It won the BIFA Award 2007 (British Institute of Film Awards) for Best Documentary.

Director: Julien Temple
Producers: Amanda Temple, Anna Campeau and Alan Moloney
