Heavy Load

Jerry Rothwell (2008) UK 91 mins 12A

Heavy Load are latter-day punk: Lewes's answer to the Ramones. Most of them are also people with learning difficulties. Rothwell's funny, affectionate but frank film follows them as they try to move from benefit gigs into the mainstream. Will they ever finish the album? Will they survive schisms? Will they succeed in their campaign for the disabled to be allowed to stay out late?

Ticket also gives entry to the concert at 10pm at the Rugby Club

open_quote A fascinating movie, insightful but never patronising: this is no mock-umentary. close_quote Rob Daniel, Sky.com

Comments

"I'm probably biased 'cause I play guitar in Heavy Load, but this film will rock your world!!! Don't forget to come and see us play live at the Rugby Club after the screening (10pm), Mick"
