Overview
When they hit the Billboard charts, Gama Bomb were trapped by lockdowns, missing a drummer, and unable to tour. Survival Of The Fastest captures their return to the UK and Europe on a quest to play for 10,000 people at Hellfest, the 'Glastonbury of Metal'. Director Kiran Acharya’s warm and wayward film surprised cinema audiences with a smart, sincere, and absurdly funny year in the life of dear friends trying to keep the show on the road. Packed full of Gama Bomb's trademark humour and pop culture references, the film reflects on their 20-year history and earliest years during the first sparks of Northern Ireland's Peace Process. Survival Of The Fastest puts a new spin on classic music documentaries like Anvil or Spinal Tap with a surprisingly sweet portrait of male friendship during troubled times.
