As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed peoples 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 Joes life, Julien Temples film is a celebration of Joe Strummer before, during and after the Clash.
