Acerca deste filme

Winter 1997. Amarillo, Texas. Brian Deneke is known for his green mohawk and undying passion for punk music. He throws punk shows with his friends at a rundown venue known as “Bomb City.” And Brian, along with many of his fellow “punks,” refuses to conform to the conservative culture that surrounds them. Their radical appearances stir social intolerance within the community, particularly with Cody Cates, a high school jock who assimilates to a pack known as “white-hatters.” After losing a football game, Cody and a few other white-hatters have an altercation with several of the punks. This conflict ignites a series of hostile encounters between the two groups, climaxing one evening with a horrific, violent street fight. The night would soon become notorious for being one of the most controversial hate crimes in modern American culture. Based on a true story.

This movie is a truth about a tragedy. You don't have to be punk or have heard the story before to understand what is going on. I highly suggest looking up Brian's story after watching this movie. The quality of the movie is surprisingly well done. The actors did a great job portraying the folks involved. I was impressed by the honest way they made this story to be shared and they did so with much respect for the family.

It is a shame today that instead of banding together as brothers against a more common foe these divided youth battle one another! This movie had me watching on from start to finish - no breaks, no cell phone - no contest! I would like to thank everyone associated with this film as it taps a seriously untouched genre of our youth today that needs to be on the screen. I walked away very satisfied wanting more - awesome work everyone!

Im from Texas never heard from this story until I stumbled on this movie it's sad how privilege people can get off so easy and the system judge u on ur looks and that happened in the 90's and the sad thing about it it's still going on but overall I like this movie and I'm a Black dude
