One of the most commercially successful acts of all time, UB40 enjoyed decades of huge success, selling over 70 million records with global hits including 'Red Red Wine', 'Can't Help Falling in Love' and 'I Got You Babe'. But stardom and fame came at a price and the band found themselves victims of their own success; bankrupt and penniless. Featuring newly filmed interviews with Ali Campbell, Robin Campbell, Astro, Brian Travers, Mickey Virtue and Jimmy Brown, the band recount their phenomenal rise to fame and speak with candour on their ongoing feud that has split a family and a band, as they continue to tour as two separate groups - both using the name, UB40.
