"Punk rock is just another word for freedom."
- Patti Smith -
A brutally honest documentary chronicling four decades of NOFX’s career, exploring the music, chaos, and contradictions behind one of punk rock’s most outspoken bands. Through firsthand accounts and unseen moments, the film reveals a story that is as reckless and funny as it is personal.
Based on the novel by Glen Matlock, a founding member of the Sex Pistols and co-writer of ten of the twelve iconic songs on their sole studio album, 'NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS'. Matlock details the mindset of early 70s Britain and reveals a trove of secrets
Documentary about the Slovenian punk movement (1977–1985): the rebellion of high school bands against the Yugoslav communist regime. As Tito was dying, an explosive counterculture emerged in Ljubljana, which the authorities tried to crush through repression and the infamous “Nazi punk affair”.
A group of youths band together to break out of their hopeless small town. The story is inspired by Rancid and the '90s East Bay punk scene.
Late seventies, Poland. In a backwater town, Ustrzyki Dolne, a few teenagers form a punk rock band under the influence of the Sex Pistols. When Radio Free Europe starts a program for them following their letter, the communist secret service also takes notice of their rebellion. An officer makes it clear to them: Ustrzyki Dolne is not London, there will be no punk here.
