Description
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51v2rq_n0ak   VIVE LE PUNK    50 years after the British Punk explosion, this documentary follows four bands that are still active today (Sham 69, 999, Ruts DC and The Boys) and features interviews with Charlie Harper, Joe Corre, Dr. John Cooper Clarke, Gaye Advert and other Punk Rock luminaries in search for the meaning of Punk and the relevance of its message today.   In addition to the intimate band interviews, the film features a powerhouse lineup of Punk luminaries—Charlie Harper (UK Subs), Joe Corré (Punk entrepreneur and son of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood), Dr. John Cooper Clarke (the punk poet laureate), Gaye Advert (The Adverts) and author/DJ Chris Sullivan among others, who share their reflections on the movement's lasting impact.   With rare archival footage, explosive live performances, and an unflinching look at the punk ethos in today’s world, this film is not just a retrospective—In a world that mirrors the one Punk once railed against, is the message still relevant—or has it been consumed by commercialism?. Punk may have started as anarchy in the streets, but it’s far from finished.
