Joe Strummer, the undisputed pioneer of punk and former front man for The Clash, is captured in this revealing and touching portrait. Dispelling the punk persona to reveal a die-hard performer who gives it all on-stage, then stays after the show to sign autographs for every last fan, the documentary hits the road with Strummer's new band, The Mescaleros, as they tour for their second album, Global a Go-Go. This insider's view was shot by filmmaker and long-time Strummer friend Dick Rude in the 18 months leading up to Strummer's death in 2002. An intimate and fascinating film, Let's Rock Again! includes revealing back-stage footage, touching personal interviews, and no-holds-barred live performances of Clash classics and new hits from The Mescaleros.
