The rock pilgrimage movie Mission To Lars hits cinemas next week, with an exclusive Q&A with the directors.
Lars Ulrich is a heavy metal God, the drummer of Metallica. Tom Spicer has Fragile X, a form of autism, and lives in a care home in a sleepy Devon seaside town. Lars is touring the world, playing to 30,000 howling metal fans every night. Meanwhile Tom has had a dream for 20 years: to meet his hero, Lars. Tom’s siblings, Kate and Will, feel guilty that they don’t do enough for their brother so they make it their mission to grant Tom’s wish to meet Metallica.
The uplifting documentary Mission to Lars will be premiered at Hackney Picturehouse on June 6th 2021 at 9 p.m. There will be a Q&A with its directors chaired by Richard Bacon after the screening.
Directed by James Moore & William Spicer, this is a film that looks beyond disability and uncovers the soul of a very cool guy. Mike Lindsay from Tunng scores, and the soundtrack includes Bob Dylan, Devendra Banhart and Blur.
The film will then be screened in Picturehouse theatres nationwide throughout June and July.
