Growing up in Trenton, New Jersey, in the mid-1980s,
filmmaker, Fred Zara went by the name Fred Fatal,
played drums in a punk-rock band called Prisoners of
War, and managed to get kicked out of high school before
reaching the 10 th grade. While visiting his hometown on
the occasion of the Trenton Film Festival, he decided to
confront his troubled past and the troubled people in it. He
is joined by his two older brothers and former band mates,
one a disheartened New York journalist, the other a freespirited
Seattle musician, as he reunited with old friends
from Trenton’s punk scene, revisits painful memories,
and tries to make sense of what it meant to grow up in a
dying city. Post-screening discussion with writer/producer
Christopher Zara led by Roseangela Briscese, Calandra
Institute. Sponsored by the Documented Italians Film &
Video Series, John D. Calandra Italian American Institute,
