The Punk Singer

Anderson, Sini, director

Medium:

Movie

Commentary

Because Kathleen Hannah has performed in many different bands (Bikini Kill, The Julie Ruin, Le Tigre), her name is not a household one, but her music has been influential for decades. This documentary focuses on her career and why, suddenly, she stopped making music. Even if punk is not your thing, Hannah’s trajectory is remarkable.

Notes

The soundtrack gives a representative, though not exhaustive, overview of Hannah’s music. See also her autobiography Rebel Girl.
