Great doco about Aussie punk legends

It's nice to watch a documentary about Aussie punk for a change.

It covered a lot of ground; not just about the Saints and their influence on punk music. It moved along with the speed of a Saints song as well - so I was engaged throughout.

I wasn't expecting it to cover so much about politics though. I understand a mention is necessary to indicate the landscape that gave birth to punk music. This documentary seemingly featured more about politics and police brutality than it did The Saints themselves - bit frustrating.

Still, it celebrates the Saints and other Brisbane bands. It could easily be re-titled "Brisbane: Police, Politics and Punk" such was the subject matter and range of coverage.
