MIT grad Marissa Acosta's film tells the tale of "The Late Risers Club" a ragtag group of community radio disc jockeys who band together to create the first radio program in Boston to play punk rock on a daily basis. Vintage footage, photo montages and great interviews tell the story of the gestation period of a 25 year plus institution. As a bastion of the alternative, WMBR's Late Risers Club created the template that's now a staple of college radio programming .
Begun in 1977, the Late Risers Club program showcased punk and alternative music, and was a forerunner of what we now consider college radio, one of the few noncommercial stations in the country at that time championing unheard of bands, both local and national.
