Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk

Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk

Presented by Matt Burke Photo at Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee

This documentary is for anyone that grew up on the outskirts of the mainstream; for the people that preferred mohawks and ripped jeans to short hair and pressed slacks.
From Rancid to Green Day to Metallica, this Iggy Pop narrated documentary is going to blow the roof off the IMAX theater at the Challenger Learning Center in downtown Tallahassee!

From the website:
Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk explores Northern California’s pivotal role in evolution of punk rock - the loud, intense and anti-authoritarian philosophy of music and politics that arose in the late 1970s. Early San Francisco Bay Area punk pioneers like Dead Kennedys, Avengers, and Flipper, as well as the MaximumRocknRoll fanzine, helped take the punk underground global.
As the once-vibrant local scene became wrought with violence, corruption and racism, punks over the bridge in the East Bay responded by creating a fun and inclusive style of punk that also carried on the region’s tradition of radical thought. Banding together around Berkeley’s all-volunteer 924 Gilman club, this diverse collective of misfits created a do-it-yourself, no-spectators petri dish for art & music that changed the Bay Area punk scene… and the world at large.

Today, we know about some of the bands who emerged from this scene, like Green Day and Rancid, but their success is just the tip of the iceberg; the roots of this inspiring story go deep into the underground. Drawing from over 180 interviews, footage from 100s of live shows, and over 35,000 archival photos and flyers, Turn It Around: The Story Of East Bay Punk is told by the people who were there; it’s unlikely beginnings, its struggles and triumphs, and how it continues to be influential today.
