Shaun Jefford gets banned in China in the movie Beijing Punk.
When the Olympics came to China the world spotlight turned to a country synonymous with human rights abuse and by any measure a totalitarian police state. But under the surface is a growing movement of punks and misfits, the irony of which is not lost on the filmmakers as they roam this rebellious sub culture a scratch under the surface of bustling Beijing.
“In comic, feature doc “Beijing Punk” a film crew follows underground punks through Communist China in the year of the Olympics. Already stricken from internet searches in China, Beijing Punk is likely to make the list of official banned films by the time of it’s release”
Breaking News: This trailer now blocked in China.
Featured bands include Misandao, Demerit, Hedgehog, The Gar, PK14, Candy Monster and Joyside.
