Bad: The Song that Saved My Life is a powerful upcoming documentary feature that explores the life of Andy 'Guck' Rowen, the Dublin man who inspired three U2 songs, including 'Bad'.
Raised in a strict religious household and traumatised as an 11-year-old witness to the 1974 Dublin Bombings, Andy’s life later spiralled into addiction amid Dublin’s vibrant 1980s punk scene.
A series of extraordinary encounters, including a revelatory moment with the handwritten lyrics of ‘Bad’ and an unexpected tribute from Bono before 55,000 fans, help set him on a path toward sobriety and reconciliation.
