a film by John Rash
Negro Terror is a cinematic and musical portrait of a punk band’s rise from playing house parties to establishing their influential role within the vibrant and eclectic underground music community of Memphis, TN. Negro Terror champion history and identity politics with a urgency far beyond that of another punk band with a provocative name. Sadly, the band’s singer and bassist Omar Higgins unexpectedly passed away on April 18, 2019, just after recording their first full-length album. This film is dedicated to Omar and the Higgins family.
