A documentary focusing on the American Punk movement of the 1970s and ’80s. This film features interviews with punk bands and offers unintentionally funny commentary on the underground movement. Accompanied by music, this quirky piece offers a glance at the roots of American punk. With Alice Bag Band, Black Flag, Catholic Discipline, Circle Jerks, Fear, Germs, and X.
“Intercuts remarkably candid and interesting interviews with concert footage of various Los Angeles punk bands. The material has been assembled with skill, wit and detachment, as it aims to depict the punk scene as even-handedly as possible…fresh and telling.” - Janet Maslin, New York Times
