Great story let down by production values

Interviews that thread the narrative of the story are shot so badly it is almost distracting. Some clunky editing and poor start / explanation showing the formation of the band gives way to very interesting and thought provoking stories. Interesting what it could have been with higher production values.

Trivia
Much of the documentary footage was filmed during the Slits reformation and touring between 2005 and 2010, but the film was not released until 2017, seven years after Ari Up's death.
