Green Day are the producers of a punk documentary due for release in 2017.
Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk is produced by Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt of Green Day, as well as their manager Pat Magnarella.
It will feature appearances by Green Day, Rancid, NOFX’s Fat Mike, AFI’s Davey Havok and Dead Kennedys pair Jello Biafra and East Bay Ray, among others.
The film synopsis reads: “Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punkexplores Northern California’s pivotal role in evolution of punk rock – the loud, intense and anti-authoritarian philosophy of music and politics that arose in the late 1970s.
“Early San Francisco Bay Area punk pioneers like Dead Kennedys, Avengers and Flipper, as well as the MaximumRocknRoll fanzine, helped take the punk underground global.”

It has been in the works since 2014, and Armstrong says: “I’m so excited for next year. New punk documentary called Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk. So much detail to the East Bay scene in the 80s and very early 90s.”
Green Day released their latest album Revolution Radio earlier this year.
Green Day will top the British Summer Time festival bill at Hyde Park next July.
