Supersonic
Oasis: Supersonic is a documentary that chronicles the history of the English rock band Oasis, focusing on their formative years in Manchester and their peak during the Britpop movement of the 1990s. The film features off-screen interviews with band members Noel and Liam Gallagher, along with individuals connected to them, and is complemented by archival concert footage and interviews from that era. Directed by Mat Whitecross and produced by Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees, the film was released on 26 October 2016.
