The Future is Unwritten

Joe Strummer, gravel-voiced lead singer for the Clash, labeled "the only band that matters" by music critics during England's 1977 punk-rock revolution, comes to life as never before in Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten, Julien Temple's razor-sharp documentary. Originally debuted at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, The Future Is Unwritten incisively traces Strummer's larger-than-life musical career—from his early days with London pub-rockers the 101'ers, through the glory years of the Clash, to the Mescaleros, the band Strummer fronted until his untimely death in 2002.

Alongside white-hot unreleased live footage of the Clash, Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten also spotlights riveting recent interviews with Bono, Johnny Depp, Martin Scorcese, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Clash detailing the man known as the social conscious of punk-rock.

The soundtrack CD features the documentary's spellbinding, unreleased live performances of early Clash classics "London's Burning" and "I'm So Bored With The USA" as well as complementary vintage material from the film by Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, the Ramones, Eddie Cochran and the MC5.
