LONDON, Sept 20 — The concert film will get screenings worldwide next November.

Spirits in the Forest features footage from the final show of their Global Spirit Tour, which saw the synthpop band hitting the road in support of their 2017 album, Spirit.

However, the documentary goes beyond the typical concert film, weaving together musical performances filmed last summer at Berlin’s Waldbuhne and testimonials of six Depeche Mode fans in their hometowns across the world.
