The Shane MacGowan Story - If I Should Fall From - Rough Trade

"The Shane MacGowan Story - If I Should Fall From Grace"

This unflinching, music-driven documentary provides the first real insight into the background and career of this legendary Irish artist who, as lead singer and songwriter for The Pogues, became a worldwide punk icon. It demonstrates why, despite years of drug and alcohol abuse that have pushed the archetype of rock and roll excess to its outer limit, he is still widely regarded as one of the very finest songwriters of his entire generation.

The film includes contemporary interviews interwoven with performance material stretching back to Shane's earliest work, along with fly-on-the-wall footage from both London and Ireland. Both the hights, and the often - alarming lows of his career are revealed.

Celebrated driector Jim Sheridan has described this absorbing, accessible documentary as "A fascinating, moving and powerful film that brilliantly a unique Irish genius".

If I Should Fall From Grace is produced & directed by Sarah Share & executive produced by Larry Masterson for Emdee 2000 Productions.
