In 1978 The Sex Pistols embarked on the legendary American tour that they would never finish. DOA: A Rite of Passage is the unique, grainy and up-close document of a unique moment in music history, packed with live footage of The Pistols’ incendiary American shows, as well as live performances from Terry and The Idiots, Dead Boys, Generation X, Rich Kids, X-Ray Spex, Sham 69 and additional music from The Clash and Iggy Pop. The cameras also go behind-the-scenes into bars, clubs and car parks and features the now infamous Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen bed interview. (Second Sight)
