The story of chart-busting anarcho-pop band CHUMBAWAMBA is to be told in a new documentary which tours cinemas from this month.
Co-directed by founding band-member Dunstan Bruce alongside award-winning documentary maker Sophie Robinson, I Get Knocked Down is described as a punk version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
The film sees Bruce "visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past – his alter ego, ‘Babyhead’ – who forces him to question his own life, sending him on a search for his long-lost anarchist mojo. Following Bruce’s personal voyage of rediscovery, redemption, and reawakening, I Get Knocked Down acts as a call to arms to those who think activism is best undertaken by someone else."
Select screenings will also be followed by a Q&A with Bruce. See I Get Knocked Down at....
