Riot Grrrl classic Born in Flames explores racism, classism, sexism and heterosexism in an alternative United States Socialist Democracy.
Riot Grrrl classic Born in Flames explores racism, classism, sexism and heterosexism in an alternative United States Socialist Democracy.
Two feminist groups each voice their concerns by pirate radio. One group, led by an outspoken white lesbian, Isabel (no-wave heroine Adele Bertei), operates "Radio Ragazza". The other group, led by a soft-spoken African-American, operates "Phoenix Radio".
They are stimulated into action after a political activist is arrested upon arriving in NYC and suspiciously dies while in police custody.
