AMERICAN HARDCORE
by SCOTTEE

A new film from Paul Rachman documenting the social movement created by 'Reagan'-era youth.

The power of American punk music from 1980 - 1986 was generally unheralded at the time. Directed by Paul Rachman & written by Steven Blush the author of the book American Hardcore (A-H): Tribal History traces this lost subculture, from its early roots to its extinction.

A-H is a testament to the power of youth, and an exploration of the underground.
