Dennis Lim called WKCR? one of the 10 most overlooked films in the history of Sundance: “Travis Wilkerson’s first feature, following up on the lyrical agitprop of his Butte, Montana documentary AN INJURY TO ONE, portrays the life of a rootless teenager in the same dead-end town: shoplifting, hanging out in abandoned mines, grappling with the decline of employment prospects and labor movements. A bold and unfashionable film in every sense, not least its earnest political stand.” This version of WKCR? has never been screened in the US, and is based on a special revised edition of the film that toured the region with the launch of KINO!, the acclaimed Slovenian film journal that published Wilkerson’s accompanying manifesto in KINO! #1.
