More political than musical

As a fan of music from the mid 1970s to early 1980s, I really wanted to like this film. I wanted to hear from punk or semi-punk bands of the era like The Saints, Radio Birdman and a heap of others. I was hoping for a sort of documentary version of Dogs in Space. But I would have settled for pretty much anything covering Australian music of the time.

But instead this film is mostly angry political activists spouting disappointment with society and their lives. The musical coverage is minimal, but the film may be worth a watch if you are interested in informal counter culture politics of the mid to late 1980s.
