Soul Boys of the Western World
Spandau Ballet: The Movie
Directed by George Hencken
Produced by Wellingmax
A nostalgic, visually rich documentary about Spandau Ballet's rise and the 1980s cultural moment they helped define, grounded in the genuine warmth and friction of long-standing friendships.
A journey through the 1980s and beyond; the story of a band, an era and how one small gathering of outsiders in London shaped the entire world’s view of music and fashion. The film is not only a fascinating, often hard-hitting social and cultural document of the time, but a brutally honest story of how friendships can be won, lost and ultimately regained.
