Part music documentary, part unflinching character study, part a punk version of ‘A Christmas Carol’ - I Get Knocked Down is the funny, surreal, and deeply human untold story of Chumbawamba and its ex-front man Dunstan Bruce.

Filmed at Leeds City Varieties in December 2012 and released in 2013, “Going, Going” records the final gig of anarchist punk band Chumbawumba before they split up, bringing to an end a 30–year career.

A potted and often hilarious history of Chumbawamba. Footage and interviews from the last two decades retrace the band's history through its early days of communal living, getting through the Thatchers years, and emerging in the nineties wiser and unrepentant. The story of how they surprised themselves and everybody else by selling 5 million albums in the USA. This is an ongoing punk saga in an age of manufactured bands.
