Girls Rock! is at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston until August 16th, but we have tickets available for TODAY, July 31 at 5:45pm and Saturday, August 2 at 1:15pm.
Girls Rock! is a high energy documentary film about The Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls, a place where eight to eighteen-year-olds come from all over the country to learn Rock, DIY style—forming bands, writing songs, and building community.
An articulate, adopted Korean girl, Laura is obsessed with death metal; Misty is emerging from a life of meth-addiction, homelessness, and gang activity; Palace is a sweet-seeming 8-year-old with a heavy metal sneer; and Amelia is writing a fourteen-song cycle about her dog, Pippi.
During one week, the girls’ form bands, write songs, and play a gig, while the rest of the camp engages in an experiment in empowerment that leaves no one unchanged. As the final performance draws near, the girls are thrown into a paroxysm of excitement and self-discovery, achieving things they never thought possible. Through video diaries, verité footage, interviews, and animations, filmgoers will be transformed right along with the girls. Girls Rock is described by Seattle Magazine as “revolutionary, heartbreaking, and laugh-out-loud funny. Absolutely not to be missed.”
