With director Penelope Spheeris in person!
One of the great film portraits of any underground culture, this first installment in what became a trilogy documents the seedy LA punk scene of the late 70s and early 80s. Interviews with musicians, fans, and club owners pull the curtain back on a world of sweaty, fist-flying shows and a take-no-prisoners outlook on culture and life.
Featuring performances by X, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Fear, Catholic Discipline, Germs, and Alice Bag Band.
