With Shane McGowan, Nick Cave, Sinead O’Connor

Renowned for his astonishing songwriting and storytelling gifts, as well as his enormous penchant for self-destruction, Shane McGowan led the Pogues to glory in the early 1980’s by combining traditional Irish instruments with blistering lyrics on albums like "Rum Sodomy & The Lash" and "If I Should Fall From Grace With God." Featuring candid interviews with a barely-coherent (but still mesmerizing) McGowan, along with friends, family and admirers like Nick Cave, this is an unflinching and unapologetic portrait of one of Ireland’s most controversial musicians.
