Crass: The Sound of Free Speech – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

The guest for the post-film discussion will be director Brandon Spivey.

A raw and moving documentary about the birth of the punk manifesto Reality Asylum — the first single released by Crass Records. Crass, an anarcho-punk band from the late 1970s, transformed the British music scene, art, and political activism. The film transports viewers to 1970s Britain, right into the heart of social rebellion and working-class counterculture. Penny Rimbaud, Steve Ignorant, Gee Vaucher, and others tell the story of Reality Asylum in their own words, unfiltered and without outside narration. This is not a rockumentary, but an uncompromising tribute to freedom of speech, radical art, and Crass’s legacy.
