In the mid 1970s, a revolution was ignited on the streets of London and New York - almost overnight it shattered the status-quo, and it would continue to impact all future generations of youth culture. It redefined popular music and fashion, threatened the establishment, and legitimized an independent, do-it-yourself attitude.Very much the product of youth rebellion, this movement had its originators, its intellectuals, its trendsetters and its burnouts. It inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, poets, photographers, fashion designers and graphic artists. For a moment in time, it was the most important cultural force on the planet'This was Punk Rock.What happened in the London, New York & L.A. during the late 1970's was explosive, far-reaching and historic - never before had the rebellious tendencies of youth been so perfectly voiced and captured in such a social identity as punk.Don Letts' reputation has been firmly established in both the film and music world by a substantial body of work from the late 70's through the 80's, 90's and well into the millennium. His work has been exhibited in The Kitchen N.Y.C, The Institute of Contemporary Art and The N.F.T in London. In March 2003 he won a Grammy for his documentary 'Westway To The World'.He came to notoriety in the late 70's as the DJ that single handedly turned a whole generation of punks onto reggae. It was whilst as a d.j at the first punk club 'The Roxy' in 1977, that Don adopted the punk D.I.Y ethic and begun to make his first film 'The Punk Rock Movie'. Shot on Super-8 it is the only documentary on the U.K punk scene w/ Sex Pistols-The Clash and many others. This led to a period directing over 300 music [VID] Videos for a diverse range of artists.
