Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten shows how the musician is not just a legend but a true communicator of the time. His influence lives on after his death.
The film is a celebration of Joe Strummer before, during and after The Clash and is told through stories shared by the frontman with Julien Temple during the last few years of his life.
If you would like to join the free screening, you will need to reserve a ticket.
The film has a certification of 15 and therefore is not suitable for anyone under 15.
