An adrenalin-charged trip through some of the cultural flashpoints of
the past few decades, Pop Grenade celebrates the power of music as a
force for change. Based on first-hand, personal reportage from raves,
riots and rebellions, it explores how music has been used as a weapon
in struggles for liberation and attempts to create temporary
paradises. From Berlin’s anarchic techno scene after the fall of the
Wall to outlaw sound systems in wartime Bosnia, from Moscow during the
crackdown on Pussy Riot to New York in the militant early years of
hip-hop, it tells the extraordinary stories of some of the world’s
most audacious musical freedom fighters, disco visionaries and
rock’n’roll rebels with a cause.
