i was born, butÖ
(United States, 2004) Dir./Wtr.: Roddy Bogawa


Starting with the death of Joey Ramone, I WAS BORN BUTÖ is an exterior and interior road movie, a journey looking back at youth and the tenuous and tender moments that form oneís identity. Starting in New York and traveling to Los Angeles to re-visit punk clubs from the late í70s/early í80s and then further west to Hawaii and finally back to New York, the film floats back and forth between a recollection and an investigation. Featuring live footage of the alternative rock band Seam, material from the last tour of Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros in America and an original score by Chris Brokaw (of Come and Codeine), as well as photographs taken some twenty-five years ago of bands such as X, Killing Joe, Stiv Bators, The Minutemen and others, I WAS BORN BUTÖ is also an examination of race and difference, landscapes both emotional and literal constantly in flux, and how each of us is defined and re-defined within a lifetime.
