FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Cult '90s UK Punk Documentary Now on Amazon Prime After 25 Years

Rare Time Capsule of 1990s UK Punk Scene Now Available Globally with Enhanced Visuals and Multilingual Subtitles
May 3rd, 2025 - A quarter-century after its creation, "Street Punk: The Movie," the authentic grassroots documentary capturing the UK punk renaissance of the late 1990s, has been digitally remastered and released for worldwide streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Filmmaker Stuart Newman's raw chronicle of the underground music scene, previously available only through limited DVD release and YouTube, now reaches a global audience with enhanced visuals, improved sound, and subtitles in ten languages.

Shot during the final years of the 20th century on borrowed domestic and semi-professional cameras, "Street Punk: The Movie" provides an unfiltered look at a vibrant musical subculture that thrived outside mainstream recognition. The documentary's release coincides with renewed interest in authentic punk history, serving as both nostalgic touchstone and historical document for new generations of music fans.

"This is the most honest reflection of a generation who took music and made it their own," says Newman, who captured the footage while immersed in the scene before pursuing a career in post-production audio. "When the VHS market crashed and DVD authoring was prohibitively expensive, the project sat in a drawer for nearly 25 years. Now it's just history."

The documentary features performances and interviews with seminal UK punk bands including UK Subs, Menace, Angelic Upstarts, One Way System, Red Alert, The Varukers, Oxym*ron, Special Duties, Police B@S^)&d, Sick on the Bus, Guitar Gangsters, Short n' Curlies, and many more. Long before smartphone documentation became ubiquitous, Newman's work preserved a cultural moment that might otherwise have vanished from historical record.

The digital remastering process, also handled by Newman, has brought new clarity to footage originally captured in standard definition, while maintaining the authentic DIY aesthetic that defined both the film and the punk movement itself.

"With an HD video camera on every phone, we take documenting everyday life for granted, but pre-2010, so many factions of underground culture came and went without ever being chronicled," explains Newman, who began documenting the underground music scene after returning to education following an early exit from school.
