Turn It Around: The Story Of East Bay Punk
2h 35m Music, Arts & Culture, History 2017

Narrated by Iggy Pop and produced by Green Day, Turn It Around charts 30 years of Bay Area punk. From rebellion to community at 924 Gilman Street.

Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk dives deep into the explosive DIY punk scene that defined Berkeley’s 924 Gilman Street collective. Spanning three decades and narrated by Iggy Pop, the film captures the raw energy, politics, and passion that birthed bands like Green Day and shaped a global subculture. A loud, loving portrait of rebellion, inclusivity, and the power of music to unite outsiders into a movement.

Rialto Recommends: Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk. Raw. Defiant. Uncompromising. From basement gigs to cultural revolution, this is punk at its purest. A story of community, chaos, and creativity that still echoes today. If you’ve ever found belonging in the noise, this film is your anthem.
