"Everything I did in Crass was inspired by the idea of 'Be exactly who you want to be,' which we put in our song 'Big A, Little A,' as a kind of practice, to dare people to dream of a world they want and to show them they have the power to reshape this world where they are told, 'no, you can't.'" - Penny Rimbaud -

A documentary film made on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of British punk, exploring what punk means today and how the movement's defining bands have preserved their rebellious spirit.

The film follows four legendary British punk bands - Sham 69, 999, Ruts DC, and The Boys - who remain active half a century after the punk explosion. Through concert footage, behind-the-scenes scenes, and personal interviews, it provides insight into how musicians experience the punk legacy in the 21st century, while continuing to represent a stand against social injustice, inequality, and conformism.

The documentary features Charlie Harper (UK Subs), Joe Corré, Dr. John Cooper Clarke, Gaye Advert, Chris Sullivan, and many other defining figures of British punk, who share their thoughts on the movement's past, cultural impact, and enduring significance. Supplemented with rare archival footage and energetic live concert scenes, Vive Le Punk is not merely a look back at the golden age of British punk, but also an examination of whether the punk message can still reach those seeking a more honest, free, and just world.
