LONDON'S BURNING - Campino on the trail of punk

This documentary tells the story of the original punk rock explosion that shook Britain and echoed around the world.

Scandal has been a part of popular music, but arguably the most shocking of all musical youth movements was the punk scene. CAMPINO, frontman of the legendary band DIE TOTEN HOSEN and one of the founding fathers of the German punk movement is presenting this pop cultural pilgrimage and shows us his London, sharing his knowledge and first hand experiences as he guides us around the battlegrounds of that first punk conflict zone, meets the surviving warriors and expert insiders such as Tony James, Charlie Harper, Viv Albertine, Julien Temple, Chris Sullivan, TV Smith and Bob Geldof.
London’s Burning introduces viewers to the movers and shakers of that scene and investigates what punk means today: high fashion museum exhibitions, commoditized heritage for nostalgic London tourists or a real revolutionary force.
