p.s. the film is far from a traditional documentary, it's a musical document and a portrait of musicians at work. the film mixes synch-sound 16mm, super 8mm, archives, concert footage, studio practice sessions, tours and portraits of audience members. Fugazi singer Ian MacKaye has been a strong proponent of the Riot Grrrrl movement, going as far as to produce Bikini Kill's self-titled EP. Because of the male dominated tendencies of punk concerts during the 1980s, he feels women were pushed away from the movement. He has discussed gender inequalities in some of his songs such as Fugazi's "Suggestion". Despite being a supporter of Riot Grrrl, he came under criticism by those within the movement who claimed MacKaye was simply capitalizing on gender inequality for ulterior motives and that it was not his position to be a part of Riot Grrrl. MacKaye dismissed these claims as unfounded and ignorant. Arguing the success of the movement, MacKaye mentions that he used to note the oddity of a woman playing in a band, but now it has become a normality. Jane loves Bikini Kill. duh. now enjoy this triple bye- byebyebye.
