BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF

New Model Army have been one of the biggest underground music artists for over a quarter of a century. This film is the story of the band and in particular their charismatic and unconventional lead singer-songwriter and founder Justin Sullivan. This is a very human story of a man who began life in a comfortable middle class Quaker family, yet turned his back on this and headed to Bradford where he met his muse. There he met like-minded musicians and together formed the band which connected with the mood of anger in Thatcher’s Britain, quickly rising to prominence. Then, as international success is within their grasp, the relationship with Justin’s songwriting partner Robb Heaton founders, and Robb dies in tragic circumstances. It is only when the band lose their studio and all their equipment, that Justin comes to terms with the ghosts of his past and pursues a new radical approach to making music which then creates the band’s finest album.
