CRASS | There Is No Authority But Yourself

This is the full-length documentary.

From Wikipedia:

There is No Authority But Yourself is a Dutch film directed by Alexander Oey documenting the history of anarchist punk band Crass. The film features archive footage of the band and interviews with former members Steve Ignorant, Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher. As well as reflecting on the band's past the film focusses on their current activities, and includes footage of Rimbaud performing with Last Amendment at the Vortex jazz club in Hackney, a compost toilet building workshop and a permaculture course held at Dial House in the spring of 2006.

The title of the film is derived from the final lines of the Crass album Yes Sir, I Will; "You must learn to live with your own conscience, your own morality, your own decision, your own self. You alone can do it. There is no authority but yourself."

There is No Authority But Yourself premiered at the Raindance Film Festival at the Piccadilly Circus, London Trocadero in October 2006 and was part of the Official Selection film programme at the Flipside film festival in May 2008

Excellent documentary; its so true. Where are todays Steve, Penny and Gee and Eve??Hard to believe that the society which gave us Crass now makes celebrities of the likes of Simon Cowell and fucking Katie Price and puerile drivel like X-Factor; thats truly disturbing and really sad:(

I don't get it, none of these people look as good as Selina Gomez, so why are they trying so hard?

Where was this kind of thinking when "great'' Britain was raping and pillaging the entire world building a colonial empire? Now Englands' monster offspring has taken it's place raping Mother Earth and literally fucking her inhabitants dry.

52:55-54:15 YEAH, STEVE---IT'S RELEVANT TO ME, & IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, YOU DID SELL OUT ON THIS "LAST SUPPER TOUR".

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED CRASS, WITH EXTREME PASSION,

"THE LAST SUPPER TOUR" WAS NOT CRASS.

STEVE IGNORANT, YOU WERE THE ONLY ORIGINAL CRASS MEMBER IN THAT CIRCUS.

YOU, STEVE IGNORANT SOLD OUT.......

& IT MAKES ME WEEP.

LONG LIVE CRASS!!!!!!!
