A new documentary on Culture Club brings together band members Boy George, Roy Hay, Mikey Craig, and Jon Moss for the first time to tell the full story of one of the most influential bands of the 1980s.
“Culture Club didn’t just create music — they helped shape a cultural movement.”
The film offers a candid look at the group’s creative process, personal relationships, and cultural impact, while also exploring the previously underexamined love story between Boy George and Jon Moss — a relationship that inspired some of Culture Club’s biggest hits and played a role in the tensions that eventually led to the band’s breakup.
Set against the backdrop of 1980s Britain, the documentary traces Culture Club’s meteoric rise during the New Romantic era and Margaret Thatcher’s Britain, highlighting how the band challenged expectations around identity, fashion, race, sexuality, and artistic expression. More than a pop phenomenon, Culture Club became a cultural movement, helping redefine what mainstream music could look and sound like.
“Set against 1980s Britain, the film captures a band that challenged expectations around identity, fashion, race, sexuality, and artistic expression.”
Described as provocative, chaotic, and wildly entertaining, the film examines both the joy and complexity behind the band’s success — from their groundbreaking style and genre-blending sound to the interpersonal dynamics that fueled their creativity and ultimately contributed to their split.
“Provocative, chaotic, and impossibly fun, the documentary traces Culture Club’s rise, split, and reunion.”
The documentary is distributed by Vantage Media and produced by Propagate in association with Fine Point Films, Primary Wave Music, and Polygram Entertainment. It made its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Festival.
