Sid! By Those Who Really Knew Him

Story of the troubled Sex Pistols bassist
Sex Pistol, drug addict and alleged murderer, Sid Vicious led a short and troubled life.
Revealing the chaos and the anarchy which marred his 22 years, friends and colleagues tell intimate stories about their experiences of the punk rocker.
Siouxie and the Banshees’ Steven Severin, The Damned’s Dave Vanian and Rat Scabies, Caroline Coon, Vivienne Westwood, Glen Matlock and Marco Pirroni speak fondly about the man many thought was out of
his depth in the Sex Pistols, both musically and personally. They speak of the furore surrounding his accusation of murder, after his girlfriend Nancy Spungen was found stabbed in the hotel room in which he slept out-cold on heroin. Additionally they consider his own overdose and the questions and legacy he left behind.
A touching documentary - fuelled by the Sex Pistol’s music - capturing the rise and fall of Sid Vicious, from punk's hero to society's cultural icon of the twentieth century.
