50 years after the British Punk explosion, this documentary follows four bands that are still active today (Sham 69, 999, Ruts DC and The Boys) and features interviews with Charlie Harper, Joe Corre, Dr. John Cooper Clarke, Gaye Advert, and other Punk Rock luminaries in search for the meaning of Punk and the relevance of its message today.

5 decades after the explosive birth of British Punk, which shook the foundations of music and culture, Vive Le Punk dives headfirst into the raw, undying spirit of the movement that changed music—and society—forever...or did it?

Featuring four iconic bands still rocking the stage today—Sham 69, 999, Ruts DC, and The Boys—the film chronicles their enduring legacy while showcasing their ongoing journeys in the modern era. Through exclusive interviews, candid conversations, and behind-the-scenes access, we follow these punk pioneers as they continue to defy expectations and challenge the status quo.

In addition to the intimate band interviews, the film features a powerhouse lineup of Punk luminaries—Charlie Harper (UK Subs), Joe Corré (Punk entrepreneur and son of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood), Dr. John Cooper Clarke (the punk poet laureate), Gaye Advert (The Adverts) and author/DJ Chris Sullivan among others, who share their reflections on the movement's lasting impact.

As we follow the bands in their daily lives and on stage, the documentary asks the burning questions: Is Punk still relevant? What does Punk mean in a world still full of inequality and unrest? How do these bands stay relevant and connected to the same rebellious energy they first ignited? What does the message of Punk still offer to a new generation looking for something real?

With rare archival footage, explosive live performances, and an unflinching look at the punk ethos in today’s world, this film is not just a retrospective. In a world that mirrors the one Punk once railed against, is the message still relevant—or has it been consumed by commercialism?. This film should appeal to every generation of rebels, misfits, and outsiders. Punk may have started as anarchy in the streets, but it’s far from finished. Vive le Punk!
