Punksters & Youngsters

PUNKSTERS & YOUNGSTERS is a feature documentary that examines punk both as a musical and as a social movement. The documentary reflects the modern-day punk against the history and shows how punk has changed. The overall feeling is as energetic as punk itself. First and foremost, it's a movie about youth – or actually two youths, the youth of the 1970's punk generation and that of today. When Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy, grandfather of Finnish Punk Pelle Miljoona and today's megastars Eppu Normaali started their career, they were insecure youngsters who could hardly play an instrument. They were even younger than the members of Akupunktio and the energetic girl band Creepy Crawlie who represent today's punk in the movie. The encounter of two generations is at times painful, at time fun and filled with humor. The DIY attitude of punk connects the generations both in music and as a way of life, anarchy with house squatting and demonstrations. (official distributor synopsis)
