Trailer running time - 2:00 minutes
RAMONES Are Not Dead is a non-stop rock'n'roller-coaster ride into the world of those who love and follow the Ramones still. The Ramones really are dead but they are immortal in the hearts of so many, who include them fully in their lives. A Ramones tribute band delves into the underground cult of the die-hard fan.
The Ramonettes formed in Australia in 2001 when Joey Ramone died. In 2004 when Dee Dee and Johnny Ramone died, the Ramonettes embarked on a whirlwind world tour. Guitars in one hand, camera in the other, they encounter fascinating characters obsessed with the Ramones, in every town and city on their adventure.
From Brisbane's annual Ramone-a-thon to a UN outpost in Kosovo, from a cantina in Spain to the Ramones Museum in Berlin, what makes people devoted enough to collect everything, perform the songs, live the lifestyle and even change their names to Ramone. To be obsessed is to be human.
RAMONES Are Not Dead will be a hit with young and old as the music and attitudes resonate from the 60's and 70's to touch the chords of current culture.
