CGiii Comment

The world is full of anachronisms...or, should that be anomalies?

White rap, black punk...does it really matter what colour you are?

Of course it does - otherwise why make a film about it. You needn't have bothered.

Punk now is so very different from punk then...now, it is redundancy.

Punk, now, is just a bunch of angry kids with iPhones...that's not punk.

AFROPUNK - 'The Rock and Roll Nigger Experience' was the original title for the movie before it was changed to what we know as today: AFROPUNK - The Documentary, a 66 minute documentary explores race identify 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, interracial dating and black power. We follow the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyles. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community.
