A powerful documentary of the life and music of Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the punk band "Bikini Kill" and dance-punk trio "Le Tigre". Kathleen Hanna rose to national attention as the reluctant but never shy voice of the riot grrrl movement. She became one of the most feminist icons, a cultural lightning rod. THE PUNK SINGER offers a never-before-seen view into the life of this fearless leader.
"THE PUNK SINGER is a razor-sharp look at the career of riot grrrl icon Kathleen Hanna." (Variety)
"(...) as this hugely entertaining doc shows, she’s still every bit as confrontational today" (Time Out)
