Experiencing Interruptions?

My Martian Dad

"My Martian Dad" is a rockumentary with a personal twist. Twelve years after the death of her father, a young filmmaker decides to investigate his turbulent past as the frontman of Martian Dance, a forgotten band of London’s post-punk era, despite having supported the influential Adam and the Ants in the 1980s. Featuring a series of personal interviews and visits to iconic venues such as Alaska Studios and The 100 Club, Amy uncovers the stories and relationships her dad kept hidden, including a few surprises along the way.
