DESCRIPTION:In the late 1970s\, when L.A.&rsquo\;s punk rock scene was expl
 oding\, an unlikely family-owned restaurant in Little Tokyo started by Jap
 anese Americans returning from America&rsquo\;s WWII concentration camps b
 ecame one of its most popular hang-outs. That&rsquo\;s when Sansei &ldquo\
 ;Atomic Nancy&rdquo\; with her &ldquo\;take-no-prisoners&rdquo\; punk make
 -up and demeanor took the caf&eacute\; over from her parents and cranked u
 p the jukebox. Infamous for its eclectic clientele&mdash\;from Japanese Am
 erican locals and kids from East L.A. to yakuza and the biggest rock stars
  of the day&mdash\;the Atomic Caf&eacute\; became an important part of L.A
 .&rsquo\;s punk rock history.\n\nNow\, the Atomic Cafe&rsquo\;s life and l
 egacy is highlighted in a new film by Tadashi Nakamura and Akira Boch that
  explores its many sides&mdash\;from the 1940s opening to its last days on
  First Street. Join&nbsp\;<strong>Nancy Sekizawa aka &ldquo\;Atomic Nancy&
 rdquo\;</strong>\, her daughter and artist&nbsp\;<strong>Zen Sekizawa</str
 ong>\,&nbsp\;<strong>Remy De La Peza</strong>\, and&nbsp\;<strong>Nakamura
