Filmmaker Corbett Redford about his debut documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk (2017). This is a dense and rich history of punk rock from San Francisco's East Bay region and how music was a lifeline for many young people. Redford shares the friendly guidelines that he got from Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong at the launch of the film project. These guidelines were don’t get lost in the acrimony, don’t mystify nostalgia and include diverse voices. Redford also shares how Berkeley (the city) values informed many of the punk musicians.
