This is the story of the generation of Czechoslovakian youth who found hope in punk. Trading Western records and going to underground shows they came together to create a revolution that won their freedom from Soviet control.
Okay documentary on the men and women who took punk to heart and found a way to rebel. It's an interesting tale that is similar to the story that Tom Stoppard told in his play Rock and Roll (the play was set roughly a decade earlier and dealt in pat on Syd Barret of Pink Floyd's influence on several characters.) Sadly the telling is a bit too rambling. The problem is that there really isn't a strong thread to link up the excellent segments. The result is the pieces just sort of hang there.
Apologies for the lack of detail but my interest waned after a while and I stopped taking meaningful notes.
Worth a look for those interested in a side story of punk, all others will find their mileage will vary
