For two consecutive nights in December 2022 the punk and hardcore community gathered in Winston-Salem, NC to celebrate the life of John Rivera, who had tragically and untimely passed a few months earlier. Several of John’s favorite bands, some whom had not played for over a decade, reunited for John’s dream concert as a fundraiser for his wife and daughter. This film highlights the voices of just a few of John’s many friends and the music of Prayer for Cleansing, Catharsis, Undying, Codeseven, Azazel, Riot Stares and Funeral Chic.
