Winner of the Sheffield DocFest 2026 Audience Award, ULTIMATE THUNDER is a joyful, loud and big-hearted documentary about six musicians making their mark on the punk scene. Five members of the Leeds-based band have learning disabilities, Down syndrome or autism, and their raw, fully improvised gigs have earned them a growing following. Over three years, filmmaker Ben G. Brown follows the band as they chase bigger stages while facing funding cuts, health scares and unexpected setbacks. A funny, defiant celebration of friendship, resilience and the power of making noise together.
