It journeys through the critically acclaimed Bristol band\u2019s determination, friendship and adversity as they fight for a place in a divided socio-political environment, unexpectedly inspiring and unifying an international community along the way.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The film, which was directed by\u00a0Mark Archer\u00a0and received 4 star reviews in\u00a0NME\u00a0and\u00a0Time Out London, will be screening across the UK and Ireland starting\u00a0July 2nd. It\u00a0will then be widely available on Blu-ray, DVD, and VOD on August 6th.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Don\u2019t Go Gentle\u00a0captures the 10 year journey of IDLES\u2019 struggle, grief and resolve. Exploring their vulnerabilities through their experience, lyrics and sound, we learn the reasons why these five individuals have connected with legions of people across the world. We see just how that relationship unfolds in the most courageous and positive of human ways.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div>In a time when the ground is shifting beneath our feet, where open communication and truthful reflection are more vital than ever, we journey with lead singer\u00a0Joe Talbot\u00a0and the band as they tear across stages, knocking down stereotypes, empowering fans to talk about mental health and the realities we may not feel comfortable to speak about.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16003 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/unnamed-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/unnamed-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<div align=\"left\">This feature documentary was originally born out of Mark\u2019s interest in the journey behind IDLES\u2019 music. In March 2017 he wrote to IDLES manager Mark Bent expressing his desire to make a short film highlighting their inspired 8 year journey culminating in the band\u2019s biggest show to date &#8211; supporting The Maccabees at Alexander Palace. There was no idea at this stage the film would turn into what it became. In the same month, Sara Archer came on board to support the passion project by sourcing crew\/equipment, budgeting, hosting interviews and beginning talks with potential distributors. Mark then met music photographer Lindsay Melbourne with an eye to include her photographs in the film, but Lindsay was to become much more involved, becoming one of the producers on the film and paved the path to an even bigger project.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">During production IDLES found new success, breaking down walls with their first album\u00a0Brutalism. Lindsay told Mark of the growing IDLES fan community \u2018AF GANG\u2019. As a result of Joe\u2019s lyrics and his honesty on stage and in interviews, the AF GANG became a place where people would open up without judgement, quickly becoming an online support group to those that didn\u2019t have one. It was a domino effect with IDLES leading the way publicly discussing mental health. The potential of IDLES\u2019 growth, along with their community of fans excited the team and they committed to turning this short film into a feature with IDLES and now the AF GANG at the centre of the story.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Throughout the production the film took many forms with multiple re-edits necessary, being the team\u2019s first feature no stone was left unturned. Finally, the film was completed during quarantine in May 2020 &#8211; a story in itself.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Pre-order:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001jDEojf1PiMvw4li6wo1b33S-gxeta_L241W4vF-YtgJrMjNwkt7M5JXJTCcxGdY2warhPTSiGW84F1rCSTzQZGEUbTMBYfelZY2QtFuILwLowVWWG_yEyPxALNnpOTip9eE7Yn7VSoE-O6H7EmL-kor9EslEKUhs9kIH25phppE=&amp;c=0fIrjpz4Ybj1sWKYELI07qPORjONp2rIP8oRSbgfWPQanuvif0Ft4A==&amp;ch=mr8_D1hJIU6rcmTBwOQh89rxAMmn9AVX-B-kSojshEAsFI_aVXcYow==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f%3D001jDEojf1PiMvw4li6wo1b33S-gxeta_L241W4vF-YtgJrMjNwkt7M5JXJTCcxGdY2warhPTSiGW84F1rCSTzQZGEUbTMBYfelZY2QtFuILwLowVWWG_yEyPxALNnpOTip9eE7Yn7VSoE-O6H7EmL-kor9EslEKUhs9kIH25phppE%3D%26c%3D0fIrjpz4Ybj1sWKYELI07qPORjONp2rIP8oRSbgfWPQanuvif0Ft4A%3D%3D%26ch%3Dmr8_D1hJIU6rcmTBwOQh89rxAMmn9AVX-B-kSojshEAsFI_aVXcYow%3D%3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1625400758250000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGJYYvsCbuhYlHB2oub6nuzxcdgpg\">https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/<wbr \/>collections\/idles<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">No one is alone.
