DC Premiere of “Romantic Warriors II – About Rock In Opposition”
United in their opposition to the music industry, a collective of European progressive rock bands
started the “Rock In Opposition” movement in 1978 by organizing their own festival in London.
This feature length documentary explores the origins of the RIO movement, and how its legacy
continues to influence contemporary bands throughout the world. The film features such bands
as Henry Cow, Art Bears, Art Zoyd, Magma, Univers Zero, Present, Aranis and many more. The
