The Decline of Western Civilization, Part 1

A riveting, unflinching account of the punk rock phenomenon and its alienated, reactionary subculture. This fierce, bleak portrait documents L.A.’s infamous punk bands, such as Black Flag, Germs, X, Alice Bag Band, the Circle Jerks, Catholic Discipline, and Fear, as they perform on stage and discuss their lives, music and philosophy off stage. Through interviews with punk fans, music critics and club owners, it is a crucial, compelling statement of the most significant and influential youth movement and musical transformation.
