This film explores the unique set of circumstances in 1970's Brisbane
that fostered The Saints; the sweaty rebellion of Brisbane's oppressed
youth as punk counterculture challenged QLD's notorious police force.
Featuring interviews with the members of the band, including its leaders
Ed Kuepper and Chris Bailey, as well as the likes of Sir Bob Geldof,
former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra and Buzzcocks guitarist Steve
Diggle, the documentary is set to examine how the oppressive and
conservative government of Joh Bjelke-Petersen in the 1970s helped act
as a catalyst for the rise of punk rock in Australia, and how as a
result The Saints went on to be one of the most influential bands this
country has ever produced.
