Description

Our next FFF presents…

šŸ”„Born in Flames (1983)

Set in a hypothetical future where the United States has been a socialist country for a decade, issues like sexism, racism and police brutality remain as crucial problems two New York-based feminist groups aim to raise awareness for. After the suspicious death of an activist under police brutality, a Women's Army decide to take direct action. Lizzie Borden's underground classic is as political in form as in content. Through vignette-like pseudo-documentarian scenarios, she explores these social problems oppressed groups of people face in a futuristic setting that is both a reflection of the time she filmed this in and depressingly, the time we still live in.
