 DOCUMENTARY FILM ‘GET BETTER – A FILM ABOUT FRANK TURNER’
 AVAILABLE ON DVD 30th JUNE 2017
SUPPORTING BLINK 182 ON THE ROAD THROUGHOUT JULY

Due to popular demand, the documentary film Get Better – A Film About Frank Turner will be released on DVD worldwide on 30th June 2017. Get Better is an exhilarating and candid film about a year in the life of Frank Turner. The film was previously screened in theatres for one night only in December 2016 across UK and US and recently available for stream on 10th -11th June for fans in USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. This special edition DVD also includes Frank’s live performance and exclusive Q&A with Frank, director Ben Morse and journalist Hugo Rifkind from the premiere event at Vue Leicester Square in London.

Filmmaker Ben Morse spent a year trailing one of the most hard-working musicians currently operating and what emerges is a raw, insightful portrayal of an underground hero. A close friend of Turner, Morse originally intended to capture Turner and his band, The Sleeping Souls, in constant motion only to discover a man facing up to his demons, forced to pause touring for the first time in his career.

Get Better – A Film About Frank Turner includes never-before-seen footage from friends, family and fans across the world as well as extensive interviews with Turner and his band as they contemplate what drives a man to stay on the road and the effect that has on his life and those around him. Turner has been one of the breakthrough artists of the millennium, emerging from his punk-rock roots to become a rock icon to diehard fans all over the world. In 2015, everything came to a head as Turner slipped off the wagon and confronted the commercial pressures of mainstream success. 

Additionally, Frank will be supporting Blink 182 in July as well as various festivals throughout the summer.
