This is a documentary about Joe Strummer, the soul of The Clash. The Clash is a band that holds an important position in the history of British punk music. Decades ago, when punk music was developing wildly and the Sex Pistols were sweeping the punk rock scene, a new force in punk music was rapidly rising: The Clash. The Clash played a significant role in the development of punk music into the flourishing scene it is today. The band was formed in 1976, with Mick Jones on guitar, Joe Strummer as the vocalist, Paul Simonon on bass, and Topper Headon on drums. Joe Strummer was born into a political family, and many of his songs are politically themed, infused with strong leftist ideology. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, they dominated the British music scene and sparked the punk wave, successfully breaking into the American market in 1982. On December 22, 2002, punk icon Joe Strummer, at age 50, collapsed and passed away at home due to a heart failure. Many musicians mourned Strummer’s death with heavy hearts; U2's lead singer Bono left a message on the official website: "The Clash is the greatest rock band, they wrote the best rules for U2. We were supposed to meet in January to finish our song for Mandela with Dave Stewart; this is just shocking!" The documentary showcases the passion of that era, where life never ages in ideals, and that sentiment will resonate with those who understand. In the film, U2's Bono, along with Hollywood stars John Cusack, Johnny Depp, Matt Dillon, and indie film director Jim Jarmusch share their reflections and memories of this talented rock musician.
