The history of Washington hardcore of the 80s and 90s: from Rastafarian punks Bad Brains through Minor Threat to the over-emotional Rites of Spring and Fugazi, about how so many honest and fierce musicians appeared in one small city known to the whole world only thanks to the White House. The director - a journalist, musician, graphic designer, a big fan of the genre in his teens - took more than a hundred interviews in four years, and also collected flyers, zines, photographs, cassettes. Yes, there are mostly pictures and talking heads here, but what are they: from Henry Rollins about the early days and Ian McKay about everyone else to third-party but caring observers Thurston Moore and Dave Grohl; minimum means - but maximum volume and impact.
