Synopsis:

I Get Knocked Down is the untold story of Leeds-based anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba. Founding band-member Dunstan Bruce is 59, and he is struggling with the fact that the world seems to be going to hell in a handcart. Twenty years after his fall from grace, Bruce is angry and frustrated, but how does a retired middle-aged radical get back up again? In this punk version of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, Dunstan is visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past his alter ego, Babyhead who forces him to question his own life, sending him on a search for his long-lost anarchist mojo. Following Bruces personal voyage of rediscovery, redemption, and reawakening, I Get Knocked Down acts as a call to arms to those who think activism is best undertaken by someone else.
