WE JAM ECONO - THE STORY OF THE MINUTEMEN, directed by Tim Irwin, is a feature length documentary chronicling this groundbreaking, early 80's punk rock band from their humble beginnings in the harbor town of San Pedro, CA to their untimely demise when lead singer and guitarist D. Boon was killed in a van accident in December of 1985.
