Beijing Punk: A Feature Length Documentary Film

The story of punks living in “communist China” is a compelling story for many visitors to China and we’ve covered some of the previous documentation by journalists and photographers. Now, there is a new feature length documentary film by Australian writer and director, Shaun Jefford.  “Beijing Punk”  was filmed last summer, while the 2008 Olympics were taking place.

The film focuses on four Chinese bands – Demerit, PK14, Hedgehog and Misandao – as well as some of the key players in the Chinese underground music scene.
