    Not Just for Clash Fans

    This is a great Documentary of a great songwirter. I saw this film at the Sundance Festival this past January and was blown away. Strummer is an icon and the love and passion that he brought to music is all here but also revealed are all the warts that come with brilliance. Julian Temple created a magnificent tribute to a legend.
