"Uses a fictional revolution, the Social Democratic Liberation, to illustrate prejudices against women. Shows the advances women have made in the past ten years."@en
"New York, ten years after a peaceful social democratic revolution; the achievements of the revolution are celebrated by the official media but life in the streets remains the same - poverty, urban decay, unemployment and male harassment of women. The Women's Army plans militant action against the authorities. The filmmaker skilfully develops the sense of documentary reportage with rapid cutting and rock and reggae music to create narrative drive. Within an allegorical framework the efficacy of reformism is questioned and a range of political positions, both race and gender based, is evoked."@en
"Born in Flames" is set in the future -ten years after a Social-Democratic "revolution" in the USA. The film is not traditional science fiction, because it is as much about today's world as it is about the future -posing the question of whether oppression against women will be eliminated under any kind of social system. The women in the film see themselves as true socialists whose hopes for an egalitarian society have been destroyed. The film is fantasy in presenting a group of women who refuse to take it any longer and become armed fighters against the government."

"10 years after a peaceful socialist revolution in America, women in an imaginary New York City still face the same problems of living in a world dominated by a racist and sexist bureaucracy. Frustration gives way to armed struggle in this fantasy of female rebellion."
