"Born in Flames' growing popularity suggests... that we need radical approaches to image-and-sound making more than ever."—Sophie Mayer, Sight & Sound

Arriving on the heels of her 1976 experimental documentary film Regrouping, filmmaker Lizzie Borden revolutionized docufiction with her first feature film, Born In Flames. The film is an expertly collaged compendium of news reports, verite footage, and guerrilla radio broadcasts, culminating in an intersectional feminist manifesto that radically challenged the conservatism of the Reagan era through its depiction of a patriarchal dystopia. Featuring a cast of lesbian radio pirates on a mission to liberate all women through direct action, Born in Flames is an undeniable milestone of 1980s queer independent cinema.
