Yung Punx: A Punk Parable

“A reminder of the importance of music as a tool to connect with other human beings, regardless of age.”
—Ricardo Gallegos, La Estatuilla

FLORIDA PREMIERE

Yung Punx: A Punk Parable tells the story of the punk band Color Killer, formed by four little kids, 8-12 years old, from working-class Massachusetts for a talent show. An avalanche of bookings, studio sessions, and press hits follows, eventually landing Color Killer on the stage of the prestigious Warped Tour music festival. Wary audiences and warring parents create a rocky road to rock-and-roll stardom. Rick and Morty and Saturday Night Live star Chris Parnell narrates.

This film is recommended for ages 10+, as there is some mild language used.

This screening is presented in partnership with Young Musicians Unite, an organization that believes that every child deserves access to music education regardless of their socio-economic background. They collaborate with schools to provide free music education, which has been proven to inspire personal development, foster a sense of community and prepare our future leaders.
