When the Olympics came to China the world spotlight turned to a country synonymous with human rights abuse and by any measure a totalitarian police state. But under the surface is a growing movement of punks and misfits, the irony of which is not lost on the filmmakers as they roam this rebellious sub culture a scratch under the surface of bustling Beijing.
"In comic, feature doc "Beijing Punk" a film crew follows underground punks through Communist China in the year of the Olympics. Already stricken from internet searches in China, Beijing Punk is likely to make the list of official banned films by the time of it's release"
Breaking News: This trailer now blocked in China.
Featured bands include Misandao, Demerit, Hedgehog, The Gar, PK14, Candy Monster and Joyside.
Beijing Punk a feature documentary by Shaun Jefford.

@azlanlim uuuhh... they don't know the word "gook" even exists. You know, since they speak a completely different language and all. Do you understand how different languages work? It's not like they can understand english but they just choose to speak chinese. Is cao ni ma bi offensive to you?

Who's a gook in China? In the U.S., "gook" refers most particularly to Communist soldiers in the context of the Vietnam War. It is generally considered highly offensive, on par with nigger. How about in China?

my Iranian friend played a show in China, not sure what city, but he told me that Chinese Skinheads showed up, and they had swastikas tattooed on their arms. He says he was really shocked by their behavior, and hasn't gone back since.
