British electronic dance band The Prodigy are set to release their first music documentary titled The Prodigy with Paul Dugdale as director and the band’s founding members Liam Howlett and Maxim as producers. The documentary is dedicated to late vocalist, Keith Flint, who passed away at the age of 49 in March 2019 after taking his own life.
The feature-length documentary will feature archive footage, animation and first-hand testimonies to tell the story of how young outlaws from Essex formed one of the biggest electronic music bands in the world. No release date has been announced yet.
In a statement, the two members said: “After the devastating passing of our brother Keef in 2019, the time feels right for us to tell the story of our band, all of it, the whole nine.”
“It’s a story of the chaotic and troubled journey of our gang, our band, the people’s band, The Prodigy, or simply, a story of brothers on a mission to make noise, to ignite the people’s soul and blow-up sound systems worldwide, that’s fucking what. This film will be made with the same integrity that our music: uncompromising, raw and honest. This one’s for Keef!”
Sam Bridger, Head of Music Films at Pulse Films added that partnering with The Prodigy and their long-time directing collaborator Paul Dugdale enables them to continue that tradition of telling unique stories about iconic artists in new ways and to create a film that reflects the heart, sheer imagination and danger of The Prodigy.
