Description
The first ever feature length documentary-film chronicling the most iconic and influential Scottish band in history.
The inspirational story of how a group of working-class kids growing up in post-industrial Glasgow dared to dream. Those kids became Simple Minds, the most iconic and influential Scottish band in history.
Directed and produced by Joss Crowley, the film takes the viewer on a journey from the band’s isolated beginnings in late 1970s Glasgow fired by the punk explosion, their restless and prolific early years through to their stratospheric ascent in the mid to late 1980s around the emergence of MTV, the impact of Live Aid and the international hit single Don’t You (Forget About Me).
Everything Is Possible also explores the band’s challenging later years and their triumphant rebirth over the past decade which has, once again, seen them lauded as one of the most important bands of their generation, achieving critically acclaimed albums and performing outstanding live shows to bigger audiences year on year.
“We dared to dream big dreams then we found the will to make them happen!,” says Jim Kerr. “We believe anyone can go way beyond their dreams, and that everything is possible, if you are determined to keep on trying.”
Along the way the film features candid interviews with band members including Simple Minds’ founders, singer Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill along with James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers), Richard Branson, Jerry Dammers (The Specials), Mariella Frostrup, Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), Mel Gaynor, Bob Geldof, Andy Gillespie, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Tarquin Gotch, Muriel Gray, Ian Grenfell, Ged Grimes, Steve Hillage, Trevor Horn, Jimmy Iovine, John Leckie (Album Producer), Molly Ringwald, Sharleen Spiteri and Irvine Welsh (Writer)
