The Punk Singer
(IFC) Katherine Hanna, Adam Horowitz, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon. As a founding member of Bikini Kill, Katherine Hanna was one of the leaders of the Riot Grrl movement of the 90s and early years of the 21st century. Her aggressive punk music was definitely un-ladylike but inspired young girls and women all over the world. An ardent feminist and passionate activist, Hanna was admired by pretty much anybody who doesn’t listen to Fox News. Abruptly, in 2005, she dropped out of the public eye. This new documentary examines her career with archival footage, performance video and interviews by admirers and colleagues.
