The forthcoming documentary, Keep on Moving: The UB40 Story, is a one hour
film by Executive Producer and Journalist Tom Jordan. It’s an in-depth look at
arguably the world’s most influential reggae band, UB40.
Keep on Moving looks at UB40’s 28-year history, career, discography, live
performances and impact on today’s music. It features intimate interviews with
every band member as they were finishing up production on their current album,
Who You Fighting For?, and as they were preparing for a concert at London’s
Royal Albert Hall. Keep on Moving follows the band in-studio, during rehearsals
and live performances.
Keep on Moving reveals the inner workings of the band; their struggles,
tragedies and dogged pursuit to spread reggae music around the world. From
UB40’s fledgling early years, to the pinnacle of world-wide fame, the film
highlights their multi-cultural working-class upbringing, and the friendships that
have formed an unbreakable bond, providing the firm foundation that has made
UB40 one in a select group of musical acts that have remained together for
more than a quarter century.
In addition to each band member, you’ll hear from music industry experts,
legendary musicians like The Who’s Roger Daltrey, and childhood friends on
how UB40 has influenced the music industry and the way people listen to
reggae.
