This Is America Part 2 (1980)

"Jabberwalk," a sequel to "This Is America," explores the oddities of 1980s America through a variety of people and subcultures, from punk rockers to religious groups. Romano Vanderbes directs, with Norman Rose as narrator, creating an immersive experience. The film opens with The Dictators performing "America the Beautiful," then shifts to punk legend Jello Biafra's mayoral campaign in San Francisco. It also features stories like that of Captain Sticky, a larger-than-life figure. "Jabberwalk" doesn't avoid the darker side of society, depicting underground vagrants and a piranha attack. It contrasts serene martial arts nuns with a family who eats worms, and explores drug-fueled religious communities. The film ends with a memorable electrocution scene on death row, prompting reflection on justice and punishment. This sequel offers a raw and thought-provoking look at American life in the 1980s.
