Praised as "an excellent documentary…" Documentary film directed by James Spooner, exploring the roles of African Americans within what was then an overwhelmingly white punk scene across the United States of America and abroad. The interviews cover issues of loneliness, exile, interracial dating, black power, and the dual lives led by people of color in communities that are primarily white.

This screening is sponsored by HAMMER MUSEUM and THE BLACK BOOK.
