Refused have revealed that they are working on a career-spanning documentary titled “Exit To End.” Fans can contribute to the film by donating through Kickstarter.

The following was said about the documentary:

“From a damp basement in Umeå’s Teg suburb to the world’s biggest stages, it tells the story of a band that refused to compromise, and of a movement that set out to reshape both music and society. Currently in production, the film follows Refused on their final world tour, moving between past and present to trace the band’s roots in the 1990s Umeå hardcore scene.

It also paints a wider portrait of a Sweden in transition, where recession, rising extremism, and youth rebellion helped spark a unique movement of hardcore, veganism, and antifascism. At its core, ‘Exit to End’ is a story of friendship and conflict, centred on the intense creative relationship between singer Dennis Lyxzén and drummer David Sandström.”

Director Anders Balsam Hellström added:

“‘Exit To End‘ is more than a music documentary. It’s a story about the cost of idealism, about friendship and reconciliation – and about a small town that became world-famous for something no one could have predicted.”
