She's A Punk Rocker

 She's A Punk Rocker UK is a documentary directed by Zillah Minx (Rubella Ballet) that tells the story directly from the punk women who created the Punk scene in the UK - the women before the Sex Pistols appeared on TV and revealed an underground punk world to the public.

It is an insight into female punk rock - a culture that has been greatly misunderstood and misrepresented in the media.  Their stories explore the experiences of being a punk rocker, life stores, gigs, fashion, music, Politics, friends, relationships and events.

The present media interest in punk rock is a male dominated vision of the era.  This documentary specifically reassesses womens roles in a dynamic movement that irreversibly changed the face of society, politics, art and music.  Featuring women punk rockers from bands of the era including Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, Vi Subversa of Poison Girls, Eve Libertine & Gee of Crass, Gaye Black of The Adverts, Michelle of Brigandage,Ruth & Janet of Hagar The Womb and journalists, authors and photographers Julie Burchill and Caroline Comb and more.
