MUMBAI: The Spice Girls are arguably the most successful girl group of all time. They have sold 55 Million CDs worldwide, had nine No. 1 Singles and had the biggest selling single ever by an all female group.
From the moment they exploded on the music scene in 1996 with their debut single Wannabe, such was their impact throughout the world that, even though they disbanded in 2000, the effect they had on popular culture still resonates to this day.
Theirs is the story of five girls who shook up the world and lived to tell the tale. There was no downward spiral into drugs and wasted opportunity. Instead the girls became women who, in their own unique way, have carried on the ethos of girl power they advocated in the late nineties.
Although there have been many documentaries, books and articles about the Spice Girls, the girls themselves have never told their story. Until now?
This will be the story of the Spice Girls, told by the Spice Girls - the story from inside the eye of the hurricane, the story of the greatest pop phenomenon since The Beatles, the highs and the lows, the laughter and the tears. From their pre-Spice Girl days, the forming of the group, the early struggles, their first taste of success, world domination, the break up, the aftermath and their subsequent solo careers and lives.
Their recollections form an intriguing and revealing narrative along with archive footage from around the globe which illustrates the time when the Spice Girls ruled the World and how they are soon to re-claim their place as the most talked about group on the planet.
