About Manic Street Preachers: Escape from History
This film delves into the writing, rehearsing and recording of the seminal 1996 album Everything Must Go. Released at the height of Britpop, the album was a critical and commercial success however, it was also produced under intense emotional pressure in the wake of the disappearance of the band’s lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards.
Directed by Kieran Evans, Manic Street Preachers: Escape from History leans on a strong ensemble — James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore, Nicky Wire — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2017.
