Rebel Dykes

Overview

Rebel Dykes immerses viewers in the vibrant, politically charged subculture of 1980s London through a dynamic blend of animation, rare archival footage, and personal interviews. The film highlights the lives of trailblazing individuals who forged a path in a world defined by BDSM nightclubs, inclusive feminism, and the DIY zine movement. It showcases the passionate activism of post-punk musicians, artists, squatters, and sex workers, all of whom took to the streets to assert their identities and fight for change. This feature-length film expands on the themes explored in the acclaimed 2016 short of the same name.
