Punk in Iceland

Synopsis

In 1978, Reykjavik was a city with black-and-white television, currency restrictions, and illegal beer. The Stranglers performed a concert that year, marking the arrival of punk rock in Iceland. The music scene transformed as young people embraced this new sound amid the tensions of the Cold War. The documentary captures the cultural shift that occurred when punk challenged the existing norms and provided an outlet for expression in a rapidly changing society.
