IS BOHEMIA DEAD...? 

​

In the 60s radical Bohemian artists tore up the rule book of polite society and found new ways to live, work, dream - and have sex. Cut to today, and "Bohemian" is a mass-market label - selling everything from wedding yurts to hipster beard oil. What happened to the rebels? 

​

Leaping into hidden histories of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll this is the unofficial story of Counter Culture, told by those that lived it first hand. From poet and friend of the Sex Pistols John Cooper Clarke to rebel artist and fashion editor Molly Parkin, from a gay 80s icon turned priest to controversial transvestite potter Grayson Perry, it's a riotous and gorgeously soundtracked odyssey through the lives and loves of those who refused to do as they were told. Bohemia isn't dead... you just need to know where to look.
