THE PUNK SINGER

A Film About Kathleen Hanna (15) (MV 7MRM %RHIVWSR 97% QMRW The Punk Singer is an inspirational and rousing celebration of the creative and political life of outspoken Riot grrrl icon, Kathleen Hanna.

Director Sini Anderson’s debut documentary is a feature-length hit of pure punk feminist adrenaline that takes in a wider view of “queer”, exploring the impact of Riot Grrrl on the politics and art of a generation of young queer men and women.

Kathleen Hanna shot to relevance in 1991 as front woman of girl band Bikini Kill, using her captivating voice and explosive femininity to challenge gender injustice during the grunge years.
