A worthy addition to the pantheon of punk documentaries

From a squat in Leeds, to finding the eyes of the world upon them...but what does one do when all that's over, and the dust settles?

What did it mean, if anything? Did they sell out? Can anyone involved still make a difference? Can one find integrity and peace as an old radical in this foul age?

This honest, fun, and ultimately moving documentary asks these questions and more, mostly of singer Dunstan Bruce, but the rest of the band also get their say.

Along the way others such as Crass's Penny Rimbaud and director Ken Loach also voice their opinions. The newest generation of angry young punks also turn up to take the torch.

For anyone interested in punk, the 90's, activism, or just simply getting older with some pride and a sense of relevance, this documentary is for you. It was certainly for me - good stuff!

Time to break out those old vinyls!
