DIY explores the roots of punk rock and its defining “Do It Yourself” spirit, as told by the bands and individuals who helped shape the movement. It covers punk’s underground rise, its rebellious ethos, and its eventual clash with — and infiltration of — the mainstream.
The film features voices like Bad Religion, NOFX, and the Circle Jerks, alongside never-before-seen interviews with artists such as Fat Mike, Laura Jane Grace, Kevin Lyman, John Feldmann, Brett Gurewitz, Rick DeVoe (Blink-182’s manager), Steve Caballero, Campino (Die Toten Hosen), Frank Turner, Moby, and actors like Wil Wheaton, Fred Armisen, John Ross Bowie, Wotan Wilke Möhring, and more.
