2.30 ‘SERIOUS DRUGS’ – world premiere of documentary film about the BMX Bandits.

“When first-time filmmaker Jim Burns was deeply depressed he found hope in the playful, tender, and joyous music of melodic

Scottish Indie-pop band BMX BANDITS. Shot and produced over a period of four years, Burns’ debut documentary film SERIOUS DRUGS frames an affectionate portrait of BMX BANDITS founder Duglas Stewart and his musical mission to quietly save the world – and himself – one song at a time.”
