“Many people have the impression that the Riot Grrrl movement in the mid-90s was the end-all, be-all of female involvement in DIY punk. This is definitely not the case! Plenty of amazing ladies prior to this era paved the way for it, and plenty of amazing ladies continue to help keep DIY together today. This documentary chronicles the past 30 years of female involvement in DIY punk, and has interviews with over 30 women from across the country, ages 17 to 40. Race, gender, sexuality, motherhood, class, and activism are all addressed in this film, giving a more complete picture of how these women participate in the DIY community, and how it affects their daily lives.” - www.fromthebackoftheroom.com

Rock Camp for Girls Montreal's very own Heather Hardie will be screening her short documentary “Rebel Girls: Empowerment and Education at Rock Camp for Girls Montreal”, and music videos by Galaxea Coral and Dekoder will be shown prior to the film.
