See this film: The Rise and Fall of the Clash at the Regent Theatre

The rise and fall of the punk rock movement is epitomized in The Rise and Fall of the Clash (2012) Danny Garcia's documentary about "the only band that mattered," or at least it did during its glory days from 1976 to 1983. But after achieving worldwide success and releasing at least one immortal album - 1979's London Calling - the Clash, like so many bands before and since, succumbed to internal squabbling, drugs, poor judgment, and general exhaustion. Featuring rare unseen footage of the band, the film screens with the director in attendance at the Regent Theatre, 7 Medford St, Arlington | Thursday, July 12 @ 7:30 pm | $10; $8 advance | 781.646.4849 or regenttheatre.com.
