In Stockholm 1982, two punk-loving 13-year-old girls decide to form a band to escape the horrors of middle school and irritate the teenage boy heavy metal group, Iron Fist. Lacking any musical talent, they recruit the help of a Christian girl they see playing guitar at the school talent show. Together, the three girls find friendship and resilience through the spirit of DIY punk rock.
GET PUNK'D is a monthly series recognizing the obscurity and unruliness of punk subculture. Ranging from low-budget indie flicks to coming-of-age dramas, these films feature a heavy dose of gritty rock 'n' roll soundtracks, DIY methods, and anti-establishment attitudes.
