October 12th in the Wilshire Room at the Fullerton Museum Center

Join us for a special screening of "Chinatown Punk Wars", a powerful documentary exploring the intersection of punk music and identity in Los Angeles’ Chinatown scene.

In the late 1970s, two Chinese restaurants became the unlikely epicenter of L.A.’s burgeoning punk scene. The emerging music form featured fast-paced songs and hard-edged melodies with anti-capitalist messaging. As told through interviews with John Doe (X), Alice Bag (The Bags), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Black Flag, OFF!), and Martin Wong (Save Music in Chinatown).

Stay after the film for a panel discussion with director Steven Kochones.

The Beer Garden will be open throughout the event.

Experience an afternoon of film, conversation, music, and community.
