Clash: The Joe Strummer Story

Plot Summary

Joe died young. But his and "The Clash's" memory live on in the programme as it seeks to explore and identify the music and the reasons behind the split of one of the most iconic punk rock groups of the day. We follow the life of one of the original members of "The Clash". Told through interviews of Joe's involvement in the ground breaking group from other band members including Mick Jones and 'Topper' Headon, we tell the story as it was. Revealed is just how the feelings and memories of one of rock's musical legends are still as raw and as reverential now as they ever were. This incisive detail merged with rare music footage of the band performing a selection of their chart busting hits together in concert, including among other, 'White Riot' and 'London Calling', guarantees this title to rate as one of the best to be presented of the group. They travelled a long way to provide a waiting audience of rock elitists a refreshing and outrageous vision on how rock should sound and just how the message should be conveyed.
