Documentary that explores the creation of the second album by Tears for Fears. "Songs from the Big Chair" took the gothic synth-pop foundations of the band and combined them with arena-ready anthems, leading to critical acclaim and three international hit singles, "Mothers Talk", "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". This documentary, made with the full cooperation of the band, explores how the album was recorded and how the band left their indelible imprint on new wave music. (BBC)
