Mark E. Smith formed The Fall in Manchester in 1976 and spent the next three decades burning through band members, by some counts more than forty, while treating every lineup as disposable except himself. This film catches the group in the studio recording what became their final session for John Peel, the DJ who championed them from the start and had them back more times than any other act on his show. Archival clips trace the chaos years, the sacked musicians, the onstage fights, the records that kept coming out anyway, while Peel himself, comedian and self-declared Fall obsessive Stewart Lee, and former member turned broadcaster Marc 'Lard' Riley talk through what it was like to be inside or adjacent to Smith's orbit. The picture that forms is less a career retrospective than a case study in a frontman who ran his band like a dictatorship and somehow kept it producing music worth hearing. No tidy resolution, just the session tapes and the people who survived working with him.
