PUNK:ATTITUDE

PUNK:ATTITUDE is a film only Don Letts could have made. From day one he had a pivotal role in the London punk scene as the DJ at the legendary Roxy - London's first punk club. He personally knew all the bands and individuals associated with
the punk scene and was single-handedly responsible for turning the first generation of punks onto reggae music.

He even appeared on the cover of issue 7 of seminal punk fanzine Sniffin Glue. After the Roxy he had a successful music career (with Big Audio Dynamite, teaming up with The Clash's Mick Jones), then went on to make films. He has produced over 300 music videos for artists as diverse as Bob Marley, The Pogues, Eddie Grant and Elvis Costello and directed several feature films.

In 2003 he received a Grammy Award for 'Westway to the World' - a renowned documentary about The Clash. Letts' unique position in the punk firmament, his first hand knowledge, near unlimited access to all the past and present 'faces' of the punk movement and finely honed writing and directing skills make him perfect for the role of punk's ultimate storyteller and the result is a film that has as much 'attitude' as its subject matter.
