The Salivation Army

Scott Treleaven

2001, 22:00 minutes, colour/B&W, English

TAPECODE 521.09

A tale of blood, sex, spit, punk & cult recruitment: for three years the Salivation Army operated a counterculture zine aimed at restless queer punk youth. But during their brief existence what began as a small, local gang transformed into an increasingly dangerous cult network. Part confessional, part recruitment drive, this film is at once lush, vicious, erotic and instructional. A cut and paste portrait of the underground itself.
