Filmmaker Julien Temple chronicles the transformation of a self-described ‘mouthy little git’, born John Mellor, into an anti-establishment icon known to the world as Joe Strummer, the lead singer of the influential punk rock band The Clash. Using campfire interviews as a central motif, reflects Strummer’s love for storytelling around a fire. Friends, family, and bandmates, including Mick Jones and Jim Jarmusch, share their memories around these campfires, providing an intimate and cohesive narrative.​ Along with interviews, the film combines unseen archival footage and animated sequences to paint a comprehensive picture of Strummer’s impact on music and culture. The documentary premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and won the British Independent Film Award for Best British Documentary.
