Directed by Antonino D’Ambrosio, ‘Let Fury Have The Hour’ is a documentary film based on D’ambrosio’s book of the same name that explores the role that punk-rock legends The Clash played in bringing people together by spreading social and political awareness through their music. The point of the film is to highlight how music, art and culture can break down barriers – check out the trailer for a taste of things to come.
