  • "Although it is often credited with spurring the "third wave" of feminism, riot grrrl seemed to many to be a blip in the media, but in actuality it paved the way for the more mainstream "girl power" phenomenon. The interviews here tackle the past thirty years of female involvement in do it yourself music, and aims to give a more complete picture of how women have participated in the DIY community and how it affects their daily lives."
  • ""Inspired and inspiring, FROM THE BACK OF THE ROOM chronicles thirty years of female involvement in the "Do It Yourself" punk and hardcore music scene from the 1980s through the 2000s -- as musicians, singers, writers, illustrators, editors, promotors, activists, and organizers. This expansive documentary features interviews with over thirty women from cities across the country, including Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre), Slade Bellum (Tribe 8), Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile), Leora Colby (Thulsa Doom), Kirsten Patches (Naked Agression), Laura Pleasants (Kylesa), Michelle Northam (Sick Fix), Anna Joy Springer (Cypher in the Snow), Saira Huff (Detestation), Janick Varning (After the Bombs), Erika Ransom (Profit$), Michelle Riordan (Whorehouse of Reps), Chris Boarts-Larson (the 'zine Slug and Lettuce), graphic artist Christy Road, and writer Cynthia Connolly. The film aims to give a more complete and nuanced picture of how women have participated in the community (which has traditionally been white male-dominated) over three decades, and how it has effected their daily lives by addressing issues of race, gender, sexuality, motherhood, class, and activism. Plenty of amazing ladies paved the way for the more mainstream Riot Grrrl movement that exploded in the U.S. in the mid-1990s, and plenty of amazing ladies continue to help keep DIY going today."--Snagfilms"
