About Me

As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people’s lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In “The Future Is Unwritten”, from British film director Julien Temple, Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times.Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship which developed over the last years of Joe’s life, Julien Temple’s film is a celebration of Joe Strummer – before, during and after the Clash.

Excerpts of Acclaim


"A DOCUMENTARY THAT ROCKS! UNMISSABLE!" - Esquire Magazine “Celebrates Strummer's fecundity and self-invention and honors his reticence and private despair, reminding us along the way what a contradictory and amazing affair a single human life is.” – Andrew O’Hehir, Salon“IMPRESSIVE! Anyone…who’s been rabble-roused by the Clash can’t afford to miss this movie!” – Graham Fuller, Interview “REMARKABLE! A rocket-fueled journey into the mind of this beloved, much-missed musician.” - David Foxley, The New York Observer “An engrossing biopic. Reveals Strummer to have been thoughtful, charismatic, and something of a visionary.” – Kenneth Turan, LA Times “A rock documentary that's as good as it gets.” – Sura Wood, Hollywood Reporter
