This documentary explores the vibrant DIY punk scene in Washington, D.C., from 1980 to 1990. Featuring bands like Bad Brains and Minor Threat, the film showcases how these artists challenged conventional music industry practices by independently releasing records and organizing their own shows. This influential movement, a precursor to the alternative music boom of the 1990s, fostered a sense of community and offered a powerful expression of hope and conviction that continues to inspire.
