Sleaford Mods – Invisible Britain, part band doc, part look at
the state of the nation, follows the Nottingham band on a tour
of the UK in the run up to the 2015 General Election and
visits places which probably don’t even exist in the minds of
many – the neglected, broken down and boarded up parts of the
country that most would prefer to ignore.
Taking its cue from the likes of Patrick Keiller’s
extraordinary Robinson Trilogy, the wanderings of Iain
Sinclair, and J.G. Ballard’s comment “The future is just going
to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul”, the documentary
is a combination of conversations with the band, live gig
footage, interviews with fans, and an in depth study of what
individuals and communities are doing to resist and campaign
against so-called austerity measures.
Sleaford Mods – Invisible Britain shows the most exciting and
uncompromising British band in years sticking two fingers up
to the zeitgeist and articulating the rage and desperation of
those without a voice in austerity Britain.
