Directed by Sini Anderson • 2013 • United States
Kathleen Hanna, electrifying lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill and dance-punk trio Le Tigre, rose to national attention as the reluctant but never shy voice of the riot grrrl movement, becoming both a famously outspoken feminist leader as well as a cultural lightning rod. While her critics wished she would just shut up, her fans hoped she never would. So in 2005, when Hanna stopped shouting, many wondered why. Through twenty years of archival footage and revealing interviews with Hanna, THE PUNK SINGER offers a never-before-seen view into the life of this fearless artist.
