Documentary month Day 04 film 04 Decline of Western Civilization 3

Decline of Western Civilization 3
1997

Been wanting to see this documentary for years now. But since it has never been released I figured I would never get a chance to see it. But thanks to someone I managed to get a copy.

Decline 3 is about the punk rock kids that are homeless in 1997 LA. We get to see their daily lives. Which seems to mainly be begging for change and drinking as much beer as they can afford. Most of these kids come from abusive backgrounds and left home at an very early age.

We also get some footage of LA punk bands of that era. And really none of them appeal to me at all. They all have lots of energy on the stage,but the music and lyrics don't connect with me at all.

Overall this documentary isn't near as good as the first one,but as good if not better than part 2. I would love to find out why it has never gotten any kind of real release. The one rumor I keep hearing is music rights issues. But anyway Decline part 3 gets a B-.
