They work to improve the situation of people in poverty by speaking up against unjust social policies. The group fights by occupying Parliament Square, preventing evictions, lobbying local authorities and providing pro bono legal aid to those in need. AVM is a mini-society based on solidarity and democracy in a society that is gradually drifting "the other way". Three years of intensive research into AVM's life has given us unprecedented access to the group and its protagonists.

It was the end of the seventies. Surrounded by wheat fields, cowboys, and cars, four bespectacled misfits in Kansas -- Bill Goffrier, Brent Giessmann, John Nichols, and Ron Klaus -- grabbed instruments and blasted out "a ravenous strain of rock 'n' roll" as tuneful, brainy, and enthralling as anything coming from the coasts. They worshipped the Stooges and witnessed the Sex Pistols bring punk to the Great Plains, igniting an uncontrolled prairie fire to do-it-themselves within them. As the Embarrassment, they threw a house-wrecking party and invited "a thousand loving friends" into their secret world of "weirdo new wave freaks" in Wichita and beyond. They played Chicago, D.C., and New York, drawing the attention of influential figures like Allen Ginsberg, John Cale, and Jonathan Demme -- but their independence and refusal to sell out sparked tension within the group and kept mainstream success at bay. Through original interviews, restored concert footage, and appearances by fans including Evan Dando, Freedy Johnston, Grant Hart, and Thomas Frank, this documentary shows how the Embarrassment rose out of nowhere to become a post-punk legend that's almost been forgotten -- until now.

Harry Styles knows how to carry clothing well. Whether you picture him circa 2014 wearing head-to-toe Saint Laurent, we're talking skinny jeans, Chelsea boots, bandanas, and tailored wool coats. Or the head-to-toe Gucci look from the 2021 MET Gala proves Styles has earned his surname for many years to come.

His authenticity, along with his talent, has caused him to become one of the defining artists of the century.
