Roll Up Your Sleeves
Dylan Haskins • 2008 • 27 mins

A journey that begins with a series of non-profit gigs in his own home in Ireland, leads to an illuminating European tour with Haskins driving US folk punk band, Ghost Mice, from town to town and discovering that the global phenomenon of do-it-yourself culture is about much more than the music. Screening followed by a Panel Discussion at 2.00pm
