The Last Testament: The Making of London Calling (2004)

The documentary tells the story of the making of The Clash's 'London Calling' album and included in a special 25th Anniversary edition re-release of the original album.

Rebel Truce - The History of The Clash (2007)

This revealing programme goes back to the pre-Clash band's days, The 101ers, featuring Joe Strummer, London SS and a mix of the mid 1970s UK punk scene. Through candid interviews with Clash front-man Mick Jones, drummer Topper Headon, Paul Simonon as well as historic interviews with Joe Strummer, this is the first time that the band have really aired their true story.
Blessed with two exceptional songwriters in Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, The Clash successfully fused punk, rock and reggae in music which was characterised by rousing calls to arms to the downtrodden underdog. The Clash's outlaw image was bolstered by frequent brushes with the law, but the band also began to branch out into social activism. After achieving enormous success with hits including London Calling, White Riot and I Fought The Law, the band eventually began to fall apart in the mid-80s, finally imploding in 1986.
Told to the back-drop of Clash music, performance footage as well as archive interviews with those close to the band add to the inside-story: Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, Generation X Tony James, Buzzcocks Steve Diggle and Vince White, Mick Jones' replacement in The Clash.
This documentary sees the band tell their own story. It may be over 20 years since their demise, but the The Clash's legacy lives on, ensuring that they remain one of the most influential and exhilarating bands of all time.
Directed by Alan G Parker

Don Letts: The Punk Rock Movie

Roxy club disc jockey Don Letts was given a Super 8 camera as a present by fashion editor Caroline Baker. When Letts started to film the acts at The Roxy, it was soon reported that he was making a movie, so Letts determined to film continuously for three months. He needed to sell his possessions in order to continue to purchase film.
The film features live footage of The Clash, the Sex Pistols, Wayne County & the Electric Chairs, Generation X, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Eater, Subway Sect, X-Ray Spex, Alternative TV and Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakers. Backstage footage of certain bands, such as Generation X, The Slits and Siouxsie and the Banshees, is also included.
All live footage was shot at the Roxy, except that of the Sex Pistols, who were filmed at The Screen On The Green cinema in London on 3 April 1977. The performance was Sid Vicious' first public concert with the band.
