The Other Option: Australian punk and hardcore in South East Asia, is a feature length documentary that traces the history of Australian punk and hardcore bands touring Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
From the most unlikely of trailblazers within Australia’s DIY underground scene, through to some of the biggest alternative acts the country has ever produced, it shares the amazing stories that until now had only been part of underground folklore.
