Originally released in the cinema as a portrait of early 1980s Britain, this fictionalized documentary about The Clash was disowned by the band after it was made and declared ´disgusting´ by The Daily Mail. It is partly a study of the band and partly a story about a fictional fan, Ray Gange, who attends the band´s concerts and becomes involved in the oppositional political culture of the day, joining in political demonstrations and attending the ´Rock Against Racism´ tour. Over the course of the film, Ray follow the band to a number of different gigs and sees them perform such songs as ´White Riot´, ´Tommy Gun´ and ´London´s Burning´
