This is a small section from the documentary GRRRL, film directed by Vega Darling and to be released in 2016.

GRRRL: 25 Years of Riot Grrrl is currently in production. An Excerpt from the Forthcoming Feature Documentary, GRRRL is a 10 minute short commissioned for Alien She, the first major art exhibition on riot grrrl. This short was created early in shooting GRRRL and includes interviews with Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, The Julie Ruin), Erin Smith (Bratmobile, Cold Cold Hearts), Molly Neuman (Bratmobile), Julia Serano, Matt Wobensmith (Outpunk!), Larry-Bob Roberts (Holy Tit Clamps), Stella Zine (Pagan Holiday), Theo Kogan (Lunachicks), Violent Vickie, Anna Joy Springer (Blatz, Cypher in the Snow), Ladyfest Bay Area (2012), Brontez Purnell (Gravy Train!!!!, The Younger Lovers), Kembra Pfahler (The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black), the Degenerettes, War on Women, Dental Dames, and Shirle Hale (Womyn of Destruction).

Also, couldn't not share this great synopsis :

  Riot grrrl is the female led, feminist and musical culture that propelled third wave feminism into the mainstream. GRRRL explores riot grrrl from the initial spark to modern manifestations, including mass media co-option and cultural impact. Riot grrrl proves the strength of music as a vehicle for social change. GRRRL offers an alternative to the mass media riot grrrl narrative of white middle class college educated exclusivity. GRRRL unfolds the history, global impact and evolution of modern feminism revealing the complexity of identities and experiences within the riot grrrl community of the past and present. This is the story of how grrrls changed the world.
