As well as interviews with friends, the film features intimate conversations with Doherty himself.

The music ranges from Pete Doherty's own and Libertines/Babyshambles material to versions of Dirty Old Town, (with Shane McGowan), The Clash's Janie Jones and Radiohead's High and Dry.No-one throws the press into a frenzy like Pete Doherty.
