Video: Cinematical interviews creators of 'American Hardcore'

They trace the rise and fall of key bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat and Bad Brains, while mining the social history of the period through fans and critics who flesh out how this movement actually got going. The good news is that many of the key players took it easy on the drug front, so interviews with musicians like Henry Rollins are lucid, funny and precise.
