2015 Movie Switzerland, Germany Documentary, Music 86 min
By: Stefan Schwietert With: John Hirst, Bill Drummond

Director Stefan Schwietert (ECHOES OF HOME, BALKAN MELODY)presents Bill Drummond, an eternal punk who now leads the largest choir of the world, and his choral project "The17". Drummond, mastermind of the successful British pop band The KLF and living legend as "the man who burnt 1 million pounds" (in the truest sense) today leads the 'largest choir in the world'. The17 is a constantly changing ensemble of non-professionals who gather with Drummond in every possible place. There are no notes and no rehearsals. The choir director leads the chorus, he calls the score.
