Book Description
For Johannes Schönherr, no place is too distant or strange that he cannot screen or hunt down obscure underground trash movies. From the bowels of New York's Lower East Side and punk clubs in San Francisco, to Moscow on a fake visa and Pyongyang, North Korea, Schönherr is a cinéaste on a mission. Includes firsthand account of shockrocker GG Allin's final gig.
