A shrieking, bleeding labour of love, WHAT WE DO IS SECRET depicts the late '70s L.A. punk scene, in particular the rise and immolation of Darby Crash and his band the Germs, essentially the first hardcore group. Crash's self-mutilated life and the history of the Germs have long been the stuff of alt-culture legend. Virtually every gig they played was awash in violence and vandalism, often ending in full-fledged riots provoked by Crash himself. This ultimately led to a bizarre scenario where the Germs were the hottest band in L.A. but blacklisted at every club in the city! It all ended as quickly as it began and a smack-addicted Crash killed himself at the age of 22, the tragic conclusion of what he frequently referred to as his "five year plan."
