We Are Fugazi From Washington D.C.

“The danger of documentaries is always: archive, archive, talking head.” That’s what Joe Gross – the Austin journalist who literally wrote the book on post-hardcore innovators Fugazi – told the Chronicle he and co-directors Jeff Krulik (Heavy Metal Parking Lot) and Joseph Pattisall (The Legend of Cool “Disco” Dan) were going to avoid when they assembled their video history of the capitol city’s emo revolutionaries. It’s not a concert movie, either. It’s a patchwork of footage captured by the band’s most devoted fans, it’s all kill(tak)er, no filler, just like the post-screening insights provided by Gross. – Richard Whittaker
