Summary |
This is a documentary film about the power of girlhood.At Rock'n'Roll Camp, girls ranging in age from eight to eighteen are taught that it's OK to sweat like a pig, scream like a banshee, wail on their instruments with complete and utter abandon; that "it is 100% okay to be exactly who you are."The film follows several campers: Laura, a Korean adoptee obsessed by death metal; Misty, who is emerging from a life of meth addiction, homelessness and gang activity; and Amelia, an eight-year-old who writes experimental rock songs about her dog Pipi.What happens to the girls as they are given a temporary reprieve from being sexualised, analysed and pressured to conform is truly moving and revolutionary.
