GRRRL LOVE AND REVOLUTION: RIOT GRRRL NYC, Women Make Movies, Trailer
Grrrl Love and Revolution: Riot Grrrl NYC A film by Abby Moser US, 2011, 42 minutes, Color, DVD, English Fed up with the calcification of punk into a maledominated, misogynistic and increasingly mainstream movement, the birth of Riot Grrrl inthe late 1980s brought together feminism and pop culture in an empowering, noisy union. The angry music of Riot Grrrl bands such as Bikini Kill and Bratmobile became a creative outlet to confront issues too often silenced in the media: rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, racism and female empowerment. Riot Grrrl created a feminist subculture which made its members active, front and center participants in the alternative punk scene. For more information and to purchase the film visit:
