Punk's Not Dead, They're Exploited

Thirty years ago, Punks were considered menaces to society. Yet, became a fast growing youth oriented political and social movement. It opened the eyes of people in defiance of the status quo since the hippies in the 60's.

This movie celebrates the remarkable and colorful history of the bands that started the movement while comparing it to the newer generation of punk rockers exploited thru mainstream marketing by the media and consumerism.

From the sweaty underground bar rooms, outrageous backyard parties, DIY recording studios, and yes, shopping malls, and enormous stadium moshpits where punk rock music and culture continue to thrive. Punk's Not Dead searches for the soul of a lost subculture and an appreciation of all things loud, fast, empowered and spiked. Which made punk stronger and more relevant today than it's ever been.

This is a significant DIY documentary in the day in the life of being a punk. Showcasing interviews, performances, and behind-the-scene footages with the bands, labels, fans, and press who keep punk alive, It dares to juxtapose pop-punk's music and lifestyle against the grain roots in the 70's and 80's, resulting in unexpected revelations and marvels. A must see movie and an instant cult classic at the same time.
