Résumé
:
Punk's
Not Dead is more than just a tribute documentary. It
takes you on an era-by-era journey that puts punk rock's
non-conformist reputation under the knife. Officially
sanctioned by the bands in the film who donated personal
photos, fliers and home videos, Punk's Not Dead follows
the evolution of punk music from its anarchic roots,
to its use as a corporate marketing tool and acceptance
into popular culture, to its reinvention in today's
underground scene. It features such bands as The Adicts,
Bad Religion, Black Flag, The Damned, The God Awfuls,
Good Charlotte, Green Day, Minor Threat, NOFX, The Offspring,
Pennywise, The Ramones, Rancid, Social Distortion, Stiff
Little Fingers, The Subhumans, Sum 41, UK Subs, The
Used, and many, many more. Director Susan Dynner's first-hand
experience of Washington DC's punk scene in the Eighties
and her continued love of punk music spurred the making
of this self-financed, independent documentary true
to the D.I.Y. spirit of punk culture. Punk's Not Dead
combines intelligent, insightful commentary with live
performances, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and a killer
soundtrack.
