The only feature-length film to explore the long reign of ska's
most dedicated band, The Slackers: A Documentary traces the
group from their humble 2-tone garage roots in the NYC
underground through fifteen years of relentless touring and
seminal albums. Nearly three years in the making, the film is a
thorough and passionate study of a band transcending the
third-wave ska craze to establish themselves as a premiere act
loved by both old-school rudies and fans outside the scene.
With unprecendented access, this documentary explores how
The Slackers weathered line-up changes, relationship woes
and the challenges of being an independent band while still
innovating the Jamaican-influenced music they love. |
