Pick It Up! Ska in the ‘90s (2019) A music documentary that takes a look at the rise and fall of ska music in the ‘90s, including notable musicians from ska bands that soared.

If you haven't seen Pick It Up! Ska In the '90s, might I suggest you drop everything and watch it now! This 2019 documentary was directed by Taylor Morden and I had the absolute pleasure of writing it. It's now free to watch, so enjoy!
