Synopsis:

no image
At the begining of the Nineties something happened in Britain, something that created a spirit of euphoria and brought a rock star to Number 10 for tea. This is a film about a period in the Nineties when anything seemed possible. Britain was of a time, of a people, of a place, which captured the world's imagination. A bright new culture deserved a bright new government, and Cool Britannia was born.

Live Forever is a story that builds to that moment in the Nineties when the politicians seized upon a vibrant British popular culture and used it to re-brand the country. Including interviews with Noel and Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker, the film looks at how the contemporary music scene and the movement dubbed 'Britpop' conjured up a new notion of national identity.
