Starring

Sally M. Gearhart

A satirical comedy follows a band of shield‑wielding Amazons who storm San Francisco’s institutions before retreating to the countryside. Led by Barbara, the “vagina warriors” march through City Hall, hijack bus routes, disrupt Macy’s consumer frenzy, and wander an erotic art museum, all captured with a frenetic handheld lens that shows shocked onlookers and the participants’ glee. The lo‑fi, home‑movie style underscores its playful critique.
