I Get Knocked Down is the untold story of the Leeds-based anarcho-pop band Chumbawamba. Founding member Dunstan Bruce is 59 and struggling with the fact that the world is seemingly heading to its doom. Twenty years after his fall, Bruce is angry and frustrated, but how does a retired, middle-aged radical get back up again? In this punk version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Dunstan is visited by the antagonistic ghost of his anarchist past – his alter-ego, 'Babyhead' – who forces him to question his own life and sends him on a quest to find his long-lost anarchist mojo. The film follows Bruce's personal journey of rediscovery, redemption, and reawakening, and serves as a call to arms for anyone who thinks activism is best left to others.
