Synopsis

1974. Power cuts, strikes and boot-boy aggro on the terraces. Flares, Chopper bikes and beer at fourteen pence a pint. Joe McCain, 17 and restless, is bored with the flatline tedium of a life that seems like it's going nowhere, and a best mate he's drifting apart from. Enter Jane, moving to the beat of a music that Joel's never heard, a vision of loveliness who opens the door to a whole world of sound, sex, and all-nighter dancing at The Wigan Casino - the home of Northern Soul! Swept along on this tide of pulsating dance and lust, Joe finally finds somewhere he belongs, and the acceptance and true love he yearns for.

Synopsis

Sounds Like Teen Spirit: A Popumentary is an affectionate, comic and unique feature documentary that delves behind the scenes of the world's premiere youth music spectacle; The Junior Eurovision Song Contest. While The Eurovision Song Contest has matured into the highest rating non-sporting event in the world, enjoyed by over six hundred million people annually, Junior Eurovision is somewhat more of a home-grown affair. Now in its seventh year, the Junior competition differs in one major aspect from the adult competition: all of the ten to fifteen year old amateur contestants must compose and write their own entries and sing them in their national language. Not knowing who would make it through all seventeen participating countries' national selections, the film crew travelled from Belarus to the Ukraine, Cyprus to Belgium and Malta to Sweden to see whom each nation selected to represent them in Rotterdam at the Final.
