Future Is Unwritten

Joe Strummer changed people's lives forever. A musical icon and political activist, Strummer was never shy about saying what was on his mind and meaning it. He was a voice of a generation, which still resonates today.

Julien Temple's biopic contains never seen before footage of Joe Strummer including studio sessions, archive and early childhood footage, interviews with Strummer disciples such as Martin Scorsese, Bono, Matt Dillon, Johnny Depp, members of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and friends new and old from Bez to Mick Jones. Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship that developed over the last years of Joe's life, Julien's film is a celebration of Joe Strummer – before, during and after The Clash.

The Soundtrack is a journey through Joe's musical life from the 101ers to The Mescaleros, taking in many of the sounds that influenced him along the way from Dylan and Elvis to Reggae and World Music. It is one of those rare soundtracks that works brilliantly as an album in its own right. Add to this the fact that it also includes two previously unreleased Clash demos and the previously unheard Clash song, '(In The) Pouring Rain'.
