Reviews

Crass: The Sound of Free Speech - The Story of Reality Asylum

"A very interesting documentary of the UK punk band Crass. This one is not for the faint hearted, as it covers a lot of extreme subject matter that was going on at the time and had happened in the country's past. The vintage footage is really great here. The extras have deleted/extended scenes that are longer than the feature film. And the booklet is very extensive. If this is your thing, you'll love it. But otherwise, you are forewarned."
