The story of legendary British band The Jam, told by the band members themselves and their biggest fans, some famous, some not. Featuring new interview footage and a wealth of never-before-seen archival material, the documentary looks back on how the band first got together and their raging success within that specific cultural and socio-political era in the UK, despite their short but highly productive time together (six albums and 17 singles in seven years, 1975-1982). Together again, Paul Weller, Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton take us on a journey through their joint past, reconstructing the life and times of a band that influenced British music like no other.
