A look at the life of activist, musician, and cultural icon Kathleen Hanna, who formed the punk band Bikini Kill and pioneered the "riot grrrl" movement of the 1990s.
Today, we see a new style of feminism springing up everywhere - young, provocative and radical. To get their message across, these women have decided to rely on rock music! While the Pussy Riot shock Russia and fascinate the West, the concerts of Peaches or Grimes are sold out, while artists such as Kathleen Hanna make their comeback to remind us that it all began in 1990 in some backwater of the United States. The RIOT GRRRLS revolutionized rock and inspired entire generations of young artists around the world. This film will explore today s feminist scene while revisiting the little known history of this revolution that shook the early 90s.
Documents the underground feminist punk movement 'Riot Grrrl', a network of bands and fanzines that called for 'grrrl love' and 'grrrl empowerment' and whose fiery rhetoric and groundbreaking performances resuscitated both feminism and punk rock.
The documentary presents relics of the Riot Girrrl scene in Brazil that landed in São Paulo through cassette tape coming from the US state of Washington, where the movement was born.
