Known colloquially as “the Pulp documentary”, Eve Wood’s The Beat Is the Law: Fanfare for the Common People is a history of the amazing Sheffield music scene, from early 80′s post-punk through the globe-conquering house boom and into Britpop. With Pulp as the through-line, the film also delves into the political and economic realities underlying the music, culminating with Pulp’s underdog triumph at the 1995 Glastonbury Festival.
