Filmmaker Daisy MacLean, often refered to as the "Queen of Punk", takes us on a gritty and colourful journey through thirty years of punk rock.“Politics & Mohawks” takes us live on stage, backstage, behind the scenes and inside the heads of some of punk’s most notable figures. Daisy shows us what the music industry discovered about its errant child: outrage is a renewable resource. As successive generations peel away, bands break up, and songs,
once-cherished anthems of social discord, get sold off to car companies and cruise lines, a new core grows up to replace them, furious with the status quo. For each aging punk rocker that no longer has the fire, that shrugs “been there, done that”, there’s an angry teenager somewhere that knows three chords and wants to change the world.
That’s punk.
