Many opposed the leather-jacketed, spikey-haired, tattooed youth. But that didn't deter an entire generation... No one suspected that a small club in Costa Mesa, California would ultimately launch a multi-billion dollar youth culture that endures to this day! This was the Cuckoo's Nest in the late '70s and early '80s. With archival, never-before-seen, and new footage, the filmmakers have compiled an intimate story about the beginning of a movement, a sanctuary for the youth, a fear-filled social establishment, and a police force that didn't understand what was happening. Watch interviews with Nest owner Jerry Roach and legendary performers like Rick Agnew, Tony Alva, Duane Peters, Steve Soto, Jello Biafra, Tony Cadena, Jack Grisham, Chuck Dukowski, and Joe Escalante. Enjoy performance clips from musicians like Iggy Pop, the Ramones, the Dead Kennedys, David Johansen, and the New York Dolls. Get to know the real Pat Brown, immortalized by The Vandals. Watch performances by bands like T.S.O.L., the Adolescents, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks.
