Doc'n Roll Festival: Rockers Don't Stop
Doc'n Roll Festival: Rockers Don't Stop: The Revival of Rockers Revenge // Arthur Baker A powerful comeback story of friendship, resilience, and unfinished dreams, this documentary follows 1980s dance pioneers Rockers Revenge as they reunite decades later to record their long-awaited debut album and step back on stage. What begins as a nostalgic return becomes a moving journey that explores the bonds of loyalty, the cost of loss, and the healing force of music. Against the backdrop of seismic social change and a global pandemic, the band’s story becomes both deeply personal and universally relevant. Two members found themselves working on the frontlines of New York City’s COVID-19 crisis, while the collective experiences of the group fed into songs that channel the anger, hope, and determination of the Black Lives Matter movement. Their story is not just about making music, but about survival, persistence, and the power of creative expression in the face of adversity. Directed by legendary DJ and producer Arthur Baker—whose collaborations with New Order, Afrika Bambaataa, Bruce Springsteen, and Al Green defined an era—this decade-long project captures a tale that spans over thirty years yet remains firmly anchored in the present. It is a testament to second chances, unfinished dreams, and the enduring spirit of Rockers Revenge.
