Border Radio
Allison Anders · 1987
Border Radio is a low-budget 1987 American road movie directed by Allison Anders, documenting the fraying edges of West Coast punk and cowpunk culture. Following unpaid musicians who rob a club and flee toward Mexico, the film prioritises texture over plot, using non-professional performers and diegetic music to evoke a specific time and place — not as nostalgia, but as lived, unvarnished reality.
