Join the Fullerton Museum Center for a screening of PBS SoCal's original Emmy® award-winning arts and culture series ARTBOUND documentary, "Chinatown Punk Wars." A powerful documentary exploring the intersection of punk music and identity in Los Angeles’ Chinatown scene. In the late 1970s, two Chinese restaurants became the unlikely epicenter of L.A.’s burgeoning punk scene. The emerging music form featured fast-paced songs and hard-edged melodies with anti-capitalist messaging. As told through interviews with John Doe (X), Alice Bag (The Bags), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Black Flag, OFF!), and Martin Wong (Save Music in Chinatown). Stay after the film for a panel discussion with director Steven Kochones.
