After twenty years, SF riot grrrl band Vulveeta is poised for a comeback. But will unresolved tensions left over from band leader’s sudden departure threaten to tear them apart before they even get started?

Although it is often credited with spurring the "third wave" of feminism, Riot Grrrl seemed to many to be a blip in the media. Riot Grrrl paved the way for the more mainstream "girl power" phenomenon, but was ultimately forgotten until recently. This film tackles the past thirty years of female involvement in Do It Yourself music, and aims to give a more complete picture of how women have participated in the D.I.Y. community, and how it affects their daily lives.

A documentary film that tells the story of the origins of Riot Grrrl in the American independent music scene of the 1990s, and how this feminist movement evolved into a revolutionary underground network of education and self-awareness through music, writing, activism, and women-friendly community.

The students behind the mic and the bands they made famous tell the story of the youth and music culture that originated, and later flourished, on the airwaves of American colleges and universities, establishing a new generational voice and a new path to success for many alumni and artists.

Aujourd'hui partout dans le monde on voit éclore des manifestations d'un nouveau féminisme, jeune, provocateur et radical... Pour faire passer ce discours, ces femmes ont choisi un mode d'action : la musique rock. Alors que les Pussy Riot choquent la Russie et passionnent l'occident, des filles comme Peaches ou Grimes jouent à guichets fermés, tandis que des artistes comme Kathleen Hanna font leur come-back pour mieux nous rappeler que tout a commencé en 1990 dans un coin perdu des Etats-Unis. Les RIOT GRRRLS ont révolutionné le rock et inspiré dans le monde entier des générations de jeunes artistes. Ce film propose d'explorer cette scène féministe actuelle en revenant sur l'histoire méconnue de cette révolution qui a bousculé le début des années 90.
