Hey, rebels and rockers! Get ready to dive deep into the raw, gritty world of Bikini Kill with our showing of the documentary film, The Punk Singer (2013). Whether you're a die-hard punk aficionado or simply curious about this fearless subculture, come join us for documentary mayhem. Let’s celebrate the chaos, the passion, and the everlasting impact of punk rock together.
About the documentary:
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.
"...Hanna tells it like it is, and suggests all women to do the same by paying attention to what your own reality really is. Now today that might not seem like a big thing. Yet Hanna, like many on the edge or forefront, has been a bit of a sacrificial figure, taking heat because she didn't fit neatly into any category, and therefore was even more threatening." - Marsha McCreadie, Roger Ebert
Run time: 1 hr 21 minutes; Not Rated; Closed captioning available.
