Don't Go Gentle: A Film About IDLES

IDLES are a British rock band formed in Bristol in 2009. The band consists of vocalist Joe Talbot, guitarists Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan, bassist Adam Devonshire, and drummer Jon Beavis. DON'T GO GENTLE captures the ten-year journey of IDLES' struggle, grief, and moving determination. Exploring their vulnerabilities through their experience, lyrics, and sound, we learn the reasons why these five individuals have connected with legions of people across the world. We see just how that relationship unfolds in the most courageous and positive of human ways.

In a time when the ground is shifting beneath our feet, where open communication and truthful reflection are more vital than ever, we journey with lead singer Joe Talbot and the band as they tear across stages, knocking down stereotypes, empowering fans to talk about mental health and the realities we may not feel comfortable to speak about.
