I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol

Step into the raw, unfiltered world of the punk revolution with I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, a documentary based on the memoirs of Glen Matlock, the original bassist of the Sex Pistols. This gripping portrait recounts the story of a group of young rebels determined to shake up the music industry and expose social hypocrisy. Told from the perspective of a musician whose influence has long been overlooked, the film delivers an honest, vivid, and revealing account of the band’s rise. Featuring icons like Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and even a glimpse of Billy Idol, Matlock reconstructs in detail the atmosphere of early 1970s Britain—its unrest, creativity, and hunger for change. More than just a historical record, I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol is both a powerful, intimate look at a generation’s rebellion and a celebration of a cultural turning point.
