Heavy Load

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.

Status: Currently on general release in UK cinemas

 

Director: Jerry Rothwell

The Financial Times

Solomon & Gaenor: "a lyrical, carefully paced and often very beautiful evocation of doomed love . . documentary-maker Paul Morrison's first feature is astonishingly assured . . there is a scrupulous period feel; and the lead performances from Nia Roberts and Ioan Gruffud are sensitively judged"
