CinemaNow - Afro Punk

Afro-Punk explores race identity within the punk scene. More than your everyday "Behind the Music" or typical "black history month" documentary, this film tackles hard questions,covering issues such as exile, loneliness, inter-racial dating and black power. We follow the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyle. They findthemselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community.The style of the documentary inter-cuts interviews from scores of black punk rockers from all over the nation with scenes from our four protagonists' lives. They come from different regions, generations, genders, and sexual preferences but their stories are amazingly similar.Featuring performances by Bad Brains, Tamar Kali, Cipher and Ten Grand, plus exclusive interviews by members of Fishbone, 247- spyz, Dead Kennedys, Candiria, Orange 9mm, TV on the Radio and more!
