THE DECLINE OF THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION
MUSIC ::: FILM ::: PUNK ::: NEW WAVE :::

Los Angeles based documentary capturing the 1979-80 punk scene as it shifts gears from three-chord anthems to hardcore overdrive. Featuring Black Flag, The Circle Jerks and Fear. This is director Penelope Spheeris' watershed moment that earned it's street cred when LA's Chief of Police Daryl Gates wrote a letter demanding the film not be screened within his jurisdiction.
