Among the host of revelatory punk documentaries to emerge in recent years,
Punk the Capital: Building a Sound Movement stands out as a truly extraordinary deep dive into the community dynamics and material conditions that spawned the first waves of Washington, D.C., hardcore.
Using rare footage and candid interviews with prominent and lesser-known figures from the region,
Punk the Capital will likely resonate with anyone in a small market who has attempted, or is currently attempting, to galvanize and nurture a subversive arts community whose members might not always see eye-to-eye about everything, but still make something magical together.
