She Said Boom: The Story of Fifth Column
Before there was riot grrrl ? a feminist punk movement begun in the 1990s and associated with such bands as Bikini Kill and Sleater Kinney ? there was Fifth Column. Based out of Toronto, Fifth Column was a band on a mission to shake up the straight male dominated punk scene and to overturn the lifeless sexual politics of the gay and straight mainstreams. Combining music, film and self publication, Fifth Column defied conventions of art practice, eschewed gender ideals and challenged homophobia, providing inspiration to the countless queer and feminist punks who followed in their pathbreaking footsteps. Kevin Hegge?s penetrating and true-to-the-ethics of-punk-D.I.Y. documentary combines interviews and archival footage to provide substantial evidence why this often overlooked band deserves to be remembered.
