From the producers of Academy Award® winning
One Day in September.
At the beginning of the Nineties something
happened in Britain. And it was great. The Eighties had been
crap. Crap politics and crap music.
Live Forever is a film about a period in the
Nineties when anything seemed possible. Britain was of a time,
of a people, of a place, which captured the world’s imagination.
A bright new culture deserved a bright new government. And it
seemed, for a little while at least, that Britain had one.
Live Forever is a story that builds to that
moment in the Nineties when the politicians recognised the emergence
of a vibrant British popular culture and seized it, guerrilla-fashion,
to re-brand the country.
In the mid-Nineties Britain was swinging again
and Oasis’ debut album Definitely Maybe captured the mood
of the times; a swaggering and epic celebration of the joys
of living purely for the moment. Along with Pulp and Blur, Oasis
had kick-started an upsurge in home-grown musical talent. It
heralded a new music scene, which became known as Britpop.
But it wasn’t just the music. British
galleries, catwalks and records were the envy of the rest of
the world. British culture rocked and cool Britannia had arrived.
