The Decline of Western Civilization III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Decline of Western Civilization III was a 1998 documentary directed by Penelope Spheeris. It received its premiere screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 1998, and was also shown at the Sundance Film Festival and the Chicago Underground Film Festival. However, it never went into general release and is not available on video or DVD. As such, information about the film is largely from critic's reviews. The plot of the film involved hardcore street punks called "crust punks" who take the anti-establishment message with extreme seriousness, and tune out of society completely. It won two film festival awards (at Sundance and Chicago) and was warmly received by film critics despite its often grim story line.

This film follows two separate movies; The Decline of Western Civilization and The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years.
