Description

What does it mean to be a punk in Ireland? In the Ireland of the late 70s – early 80s, with a conflict raging in Belfast, and a depressed economy in Cork, many young punks stepped outside of the mainstream. They dressed and acted differently, they looked at what society had to offer them and largely turned their back on it. As adults, and as parents and grandparents, they reflect on their experience of early punk as we bring the story right up to date – exploring the lives of two modern day punks, finding their way in the context of a rapidly changing Ireland.
At the heart of these stories is the music and politics that inspired them, that brought them together, and helped define who they were.
