Chumbawamba’s Dunstan Bruce presents his New Documentary at Brewery Arts

The docu-film, I Get Knocked Down, will be presented by Dunstan Bruce on 17 February at Brewery Arts. The untold story of Leedsbased anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba features a live Q&A with founding band member, Dunstan Bruce, hosted by Brewery Arts Artistic Director Miriam Randall.

Part music documentary, part unflinching character study, part punk version of ‘A Christmas Carol’, I Get Knocked Down is the funny, surreal and deeply human story of the most audacious anarchist music experiment of all time, and a call to arms to those who think activism is best undertaken by someone else.

Dunstan Bruce is now 59 and feeling frustrated at a world which seems to be going “to hell in a handcart”. The film explores how the now retired and middle-aged radical gets back up again, twenty years after his fall from grace.

Dunstan is visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past; his alter ego, ‘Babyhead’, who forces him to question his own life, sending him on a search for his long-lost anarchist mojo.

‘An enjoyable blast of pop history’… ‘That’s what’s so unusual about I Get Knocked Down. It has a streak of humility utterly foreign to most music documentaries. Bruce puts in the bits every other band on the planet would leave out.’ The Guardian This film host an 18 certification.
