Persecution Blues – The battle for the Tote!

Persecution Blues – The battle for the Tote! (Deutschlandpremiere)
Australien 2010 (OV), 60 min, Regie: Natalie van den Dungen
In 2010, the iconic Tote Hotel – last bastion of Melbourne’s vibrant music counterculture (punk, hardcore an metal) – was forced to close by unfair laws. Filmed over 7 years, “Persecution Blues” depicts the struggle of more than 20,000 fans – and the bands who inspire them – to preserve their history and protect their future, and puts the audience on the front line of an epic-scale culture war.
