Punk, passion, politics and public protest collide, in this documentary depicting the fight to save rock and roll in Melbourne. In 2010, the iconic Tote Hotel – last bastion of Melbourne's vibrant music counterculture – was forced to close due to the archaic laws of the Liquor Licensing Commission. Filmed over seven years, this documentary puts the audience on the front line of an epic-scale culture war, depicting the plight of more than 20,000 fans – along with the bands who inspire them – as they strive to preserve their history and protect the future of live music.
