Following on from our successful run of screenings across the Czech Republic and elsewhere during March, we are pleased to confirm the following screenings for April, with several more to come in May!
Our North American premiere will take place on 15 April at the 4th Edition of CIMMfest (Chicago International Music and Movies Festival):
Punk rockers used sneers, safety pins, black leather, liberty spikes, and of course loud music to tell society to piss off. But as Maas and Jones reveal, in South Africa under apartheid, or in Mozambique during the civil war, the strongest statement a punk band could make was to be multiracial. Of the results, Curt Hopkins on website OkayAfrica perhaps put it best: “It wasn’t an explosion, it was an uninhibited musical miscegenation, in which punk and native musical traditions met—and screwed in the bathroom at the youth club.” — Michael W. Phillips Jr.
