Rebel Dykes is a full-length documentary about the explosion that happened when punk met feminism, told through the lives of a gang of lesbians in the riotous London of the 1980s.
It follows a close-knit group of friends who met at the Greenham Common peace camp and later became artists, performers, music-makers and activists in London, eventually laying the groundwork for today’s LGBTIQ community with their sex-positive rebellion.
A heady mix of animation, archival footage and interviews tells the story of a radical scene: squatters, BDSM nightclubs, anti-Thatcher rallies, protests demanding action on AIDS and the strong ties to a chosen family.
Rebel Dykes is an extraordinary insight into a bygone world of people who not only lived their politics out of deepest conviction, but also lived to tell about it.
The Rebel Dykes movie screening will take place in the open-air cinema, ensuring a truly magic night under the night sky! Refreshments and snacks are available at the cinema bar.
