Don Letts has been directing films since 1978, when he made The Punk Rock Movie using footage of bands he'd gathered on a Super 8 camera. He went on to direct videos for The Clash, Bob Marley and others. He has also directed many TV documentaries on music and popular culture, as well as feature films including Dancehall Queen. In his band Big Audio Dynamite, Don was a pioneer of sampling clips of film dialogue to enhance songs.
