Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten
Sound + Vision 2015
July 29 - August 7, 2015
A deeply personal but uncompromising look at the life and legacy of The Clash front man and lyricist that captures him in all his complexities, contradictions, and rebellious energy. With interviews from family members, friends, and artists including Bono, Johnny Depp, and John Cusack.
A deeply personal look at the self-described “punk rock warlord,” Temple’s film portrays the complexities, contradictions, and rebellious energy that defined his longtime friend. Pieced together with clips from home movies, television, newsreels, and the feature films that Strummer appeared in (as well as excerpts of his BBC World Service radio show), this documentary follows his well-to-do upbringing, time as an art student, the height of his fame, and his struggle to redefine himself after The Clash. With interviews from family members, friends, and artists of all stripes (from Bono to Johnny Depp to John Cusack) who drew inspiration from Strummer’s personality and music, there is no better tribute to his legacy.
