When they hit the Billboard charts, cult Irish thrash band Gama Bomb were trapped by lockdowns, missing a drummer, and unable to tour.
SURVIVAL OF THE FASTEST is a new take on classic music documentaries like ANVIL or SPINAL TAP with a sweet and charming portrait of male friendship during troubled times.
Capturing Gama Bomb's quest to play for 10,000 people at Hellfest – the 'Glastonbury of Metal' – Kiran Acharya’s warm and wayward film surprised festival audiences with a smart, sincere, and absurdly funny year in the life of dear friends trying to keep the show on the road.
Dir. Kyran Acharya, UK/Ireland, 2024, 72 minutes
