Synopsis

A classic feminist film, set in the future--ten years after a Socialist-Democratic cultural "revolution" in America. The "revolution" held out hope and delivered hype--particularly where the issues of women are concerned. The Women's Army refuses to take it any longer and become armed fighters against the government. They take to the airwaves, to the streets and eventually take over... CBS. Images of punk bands collide with images of women organizing and FBI agents watching. Street riots merge with talk-show guests psychoanalyzing protesters in this flurry of uncompromising femme revolutionaries.
