The title is a reference to both the band\u2019s most recent album, <em>Spirit<\/em>, and tour, Global Spirit, and the venue the band played in Germany, the Waldb\u00fchne (\u201cForest Stage\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The film, which was helmed by longtime Depeche Mode collaborator Anton Corbijn, will get screenings around the world on November 21st.
