9pm THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION (1hr 40mins)
Perceived as shocking and outrageous when originally released in 1981, Penelope Spheeris’ The Decline Of Western Civilization exposes the LA punk scene at the time.

10.45pm EASY RIDER (1hr 35mins)
60s road movie following two counter-cultural, drug-fueled, Harley Davidson bikers through the American Southwest. Their trip to Mardi Gras in New Orleans takes them through limitless, untouched landscapes, various towns, a hippie commune and also through areas of hateful, narrow-minded local residents. Soundtrack includes The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, Steppenwolf and many more. The promo poster claimed “A man went looking for America and couldn’t find it anywhere.”
SATURDAY
4.30pm BEAT THIS!: A HIP HOP HISTORY (1hr)
Aired as part of the BBC Arena series in 1984, an exploration of hip-hop culture in New York City. The film features DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, The Cold Crush Brothers, Jazzy Jay, Globe, The Dynamic Rockers and producer Arthur Baker. Directed by Dick Fontaine and thought to be the first hip hop film shown in the UK.
5.30pm BOMBIN’ (1hr)
Sequel to Fontaine’s 1984 doc “Beat This!”, first broadcast in 1987 on Channel 4. Bombin’ takes a look at how American hip-hop culture was making its way over the pond to the UK, this time exploring graffiti and tagging subcultures.
The documentary offers a fascinating look at 1980’s UK hip-hop and graffiti culture and includes 3D and Goldie tagging in Birmingham.
6.30pm STREET ART 1989 (30mins)
BBC documentary from the 1989 international street art competition in Bridlington.

1979 documentary depicting the daily life of gangs in the South Bronx, primarily the “Savage Skulls” and the “Savage Nomads”. The South Bronx was known for many social issues such as high unemployment, prostitution and drug and alcohol abuse. The name obviously references the distance between the exclusive Tiffany’s jewelry store, in Manhattan and the South Bronx.
