DETAILED SYNOPSIS:
Hasan Shah and Dom Shaw's fabulous movie of the post punk period between 1978 and 1981 unearthed from an archive after twenty years that is more than just a music record; featuring as it does the looks, the poses, the rucks, the riots and the slaggings of bands and their fans. Filmed by a bunch of spit covered teenagers, this is not so much a documentary as a series of forays into the opinions of the protagonists of Punk, Mod, Oi, Dance and Ska; the kids on the street, the music, press and of course, the bands themselves. Originally, shot on Super 8 and blown up to 16mm, the film retains its rough and ready cut to produce a gem of street level cinema. Also has some cracking performances from exponents of punk, mod, oi and ska all filmed in the same DIY ethic that spawned punk itself.'

“This doc captures the anarchic spirit of the punks, skins and mods in London on the cusp of the ’80s. It’s crackling with energy...An archive nugget” Raindance Film Festival 2004
