Director: Chris Atkins

The first-ever authorised tell-all documentary about iconic British band James 

If you ever caught yourself screaming, “Oh, sit down! Sit down! Sit down next to me!” amongst friends and strangers at a rowdy pub as a barman calls final rounds, you know you have had a proper good British night out. This feeling is courtesy of iconic Manchester band James, whose hits have accompanied generations of Brits for almost half a century. In their first-ever authorised documentary, the band chronicles their rise and fall and rise again, offering a rare insight into the thrills and woes of being a creative, as well as painting a comprehensive picture of how tabloid culture has shaped the UK music scene. A treat for fans old and new. (RAFA SALES ROSS)
