Legendary frontman of the Clash Joe Strummer was one of rock’s most magnetic and complex figures—an electrifying performer who brought an explosive political edge to the punk movement. In this visually dynamic documentary, veteran chronicler of the punk scene Julien Temple employs a collage-like approach to illuminate the many contradictory layers of Strummer’s identity, his complicated relationship to his bandmates and fame, and his post-Clash search for meaning. Featuring a wealth of archival footage and conversations with friends and collaborators like Bono, Flea, Mick Jones, and Martin Scorsese, JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN is a vivid, enthralling tribute to an icon who through it all remained fiercely committed to his DIY ideals.
