We Wanted To Change The World

About This Movie

We Wanted To Change The World captures the raw spirit of aging punks in Latvia. It's a documentary that dives into the lives of Inokentijs Mārpls, a band that never quite conformed, and their reflections on youth and rebellion. You feel that grit and determination throughout the film, a palpable sense of nostalgia mixed with a hint of melancholy. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of introspection to breathe, which is refreshing in a music doc. There’s a nice blend of performance footage and personal interviews, showcasing not just the music but the men behind it. The atmosphere feels genuine, like you're hanging out with them, hearing their stories amidst the backdrop of a changing world. It's a poignant exploration of ideals that stick with you.
