Don Letts, the man behind the amazing Clash documentary Westway to the World, has a new Clash film coming out. Titled The Clash Live: Revolution Rock the film is a (roughly) chronological snapshot of the Clash’s live show.

Here’s the press release:
“The film follows the live transformation of the band, incorporating footage from all phases of the Clash’s meteoric career, beginning with live-in-the-studio clips and climaxing with a blow-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1982. With rare and previously unreleased footage from all over the world, this film documents the history of the band by showcasing their incredible live performances, and will be a draw for both the new fan and their established passionate followers.”

The film will hit stores with a DVD release on April 15 but you can catch an edited version on PBS in March. Check theclashonline.com for updates on when it will be airing.
