Heavy Load are Lewes' answer to the Ramones, a punk outfit subject to the combustible flux of ego, ambition, fantasy, expectation and desire that fuels any emerging band. But they're also, uniquely, made up of musicians with and without learning disabilities, which makes the bands' survival a precarious negotiation between two different worlds: on the one hand the institutional timetable of day centres, work placements and social workers; on the other the chaotic slacker life of rehearsal rooms, studios and gigs. Home life and band-life; from invisibility to stardom of a sort and back again. Director: Jerry Rothwell
Status: Currently on general release in UK cinemas
Producers: Jonny Persey, Al Morrow, Jerry Rothwell
Wondrous Oblivion: "Once again a modest British feature is one of the week's high points... a lovingly crafted tale deftly mixing social history, personal drama and warm-hearted nostalgia... thoughtful, sensitively handled and expertly acted ... a poignant family film that brings the past vividly alive."
