Plot Summary

She Said Boom: The Story Of Fifth Column is the story of a group of young female artists from Toronto in the early eighties. They united to use music, film, and self publication to defy conventions of art practice, gender ideas, and to challenge homophobia. These endeavors snowballed into global art and political movements. This film looks at their work, and explores why you may not have heard of them, despite their impact. Written by Kevin Hegge
