"don't need you" is a documentary film that tells the story of the origins of Riot Grrrl in the American independent music scene of the 1990s, and how this feminist movement evolved into a revolutionary underground network of education and self-awareness through music, writing, activism, and women-friendly community. The film gives audiences a chance to meet key figures in the development of Riot Grrrl and see for themselves how these women have changed the history of music and feminism forever. The film features one-on-one interviews interspersed with rare, archival materials, including original Riot Grrrl fanzines, flyers, and photographs, as well as seldom seen footage from pioneering Riot Grrrl bands like Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy, and Bratmobile.

I was so excited to get this documentary! The riot grrrl movement was and still is really close to my heart.. I loved the energy, the music, the voices of the movement - HOWEVER - this documentary was in my opinion a very poor representation of the riot grrrl movement.. It looked like it was hastily put together and I'm afraid that it wouldn't give a very good impression to people not familiar with the movement and the music; if one is familiar with the movement and music - then it's just a big disappointment. It was SHORT, disorganized, poorly executed and edited... I was expecting something far more creative, something that would really be a good visual representation of the time, the music, the feelings behind the movement... so if you wanna know more about the riot grrrl movement, I suggest not starting here. Instead, listen to the music, buy LP's and look at their album art, read up on it online - look up feminist zines..
