"The Culture Show - Girls Will Be Girls" (Women In Punk)


Aqui fica disponível o documentário "The Culture Show - Girls Will Be Girls" exibido em 2014 no canal inglês da BBC sobre as mulheres no movimento punk.



A reportagem com cerca de 30 minutos é da autoria de Martina Hall e é apresentado por Miranda Sawye...




At the height of the punk explosion almost 40 years ago, a handful of women completely redefined what a woman in music could do. Through sheer talent and fearlessness they pushed themselves on to a maledominated music scene and became part of a movement that radically changed the cultural landscape.
Along with Siouxsie Sioux, Poly Styrene and Chrissie Hynde, the Slits were among punk's most important figures and Viv Albertine, their guitarist, has just brought out her memoir 'Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys' which chronicles her life as part of this revolutionary vanguard.
Miranda Sawyer meets up with Viv Albertine and some of the other key female figures of the era including Chrissie Hynde, The Raincoats, and punk anti-heroine Jordan to look at how they inspired a generation of young women with the notion that anyone could do anything if they wanted to. Plus she explores whether the punk spirit still survives today
