Defkon City presents: James Spooner, director of Afropunk Kon Def 2006-04-29 | Growing up as a biracial punk rock kid on both coasts, James Spooner has experienced a lot of diversity. James presents part of this shared background with his film Afro Punk, in which, through a series of interviews with black punks and some high profile musicians, he introduces the public to an often neglected or marginalized group. We met in Brooklyn to discuss the film, the people it's inspired, and the future of the Afro Punk community. For more information on the movie Afropunk and related events, visit www.afropunk.com.
