BBC Four - Dexys: Nowhere Is Home

Film documenting Dexys' residency at the Duke of York's Theatre in London in 2014.

Film documenting Dexys' residency at the Duke of York's Theatre in London in 2014, interspersed with an interview with Kevin Rowland and Jim Paterson detailing the band's story.

Directed by BAFTA winner Kieran Evans and Paul Kelly (the first time the pair have collaborated since 2003's Finisterre), this film documents Dexys' celebrated residency at the Duke of York's Theatre in London in spring 2014. It captures songs from those theatrical shows with a striking visual style and a real sensitivity to the performances onstage.

Interspersed throughout the film is an honest, revealing and touching interview with Kevin Rowland and Jim Paterson that details the remarkable story of the band. The film frames the motivation and desire that oversaw the artistic triumph of the band's album One Day I'm Going to Soar and the live performances that subsequently developed from its narrative.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
