In the high energy, Slamdance favorite, Los Punks: We Are All We Have the underground punk rock backyard scene in Los Angeles pops off the screen. Punk rock is thriving in the backyards of South Central and East Los Angeles. A cobbled-together family of predominantly Latino teens and young adults comprise the scene: bands, fans, production, marketing, and security interwoven into a sub-culture of thrash and noise and pits. The sense of belonging is palpable, emotional bonds fostered
among good families and those broken, poverty and wealth, adolescence and maturity, with the music emanating a magnetic chorus for all to sing together. Los Punks: We Are All We Have is a documentary feature film honestly and sincerely portraying this vibrant, “DIY” community. Photographer and filmmaker, Director Angela Boatwright talks about her experiences and impressions of a thriving, vibrant underground music scene that is hiding in plain sight.
