Rebel Dykes 18
Rebel Dykes follows a tight-knit, ass-kicking, leather-wearing group of friends who met at Greenham Common peace camp in the 1980s. A heady mash-up of animation, archive footage and interviews tells the story of a radical scene: squatters, BDSM nightclubs, anti-Thatcher rallies, protests demanding action around AIDS and the fierce ties of chosen family. This is a privileged glimpse into a bygone world by those who not only lived out their politics with heartfelt conviction but lived to tell the tale.
One of the most exhilarating and audacious films you’ll see this year, this true story of a fearless group of artists, performers, musicians and activists is one not to be missed.
