Musical travelogue through China's punk and rock subculture by German filmmakers Susanne Messmer and George Lindt. A documentary with great music by Beijing bands Joyside, Hang On The Box, New Pants, T9 (Hangai-Band) and ShaZi.
An intimate documentary by German music journalist Messmer and codirector/ record-label owner (Lieblingslied Records) Lindt. The filmmakers travel through China, meet five punk and rock bands, and show what it means when you're 'different' in the world's fastest growing country. While most Chinese citizens seem obsessed with status and wealth, these youngsters just say: No!... and do their own thing. A never-seen-before look into Asian subculture.
