We all know girls rock, right? Let's help them rock in podunk towns too!
This week is the opening week of the new documentary 'Girls Rock!'
If you're in NY, LA, San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Chicago, Seattle, or Portland, you have the chance to see it. Movie theaters in smaller towns, where girls don't have as much access to alternatives, will only program “Girls Rock!' if they see it bringing in audiences on opening week. So please go yourself, bring friends, and help get out the word!
See above for trailer.

blurb:
"At Rock 'n' Roll Camp, girls ranging in age from eight to 18 are taught that it's OK to sweat like a pig, scream like a banshee, wail on their instruments with complete and utter abandon, and that "it is 100% okay to be exactly who you are." They are taught by indie rock chicks such as Carrie Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney various lessons of empowerment from self-defense to anger management. At the end of just one week, all the bands perform songs they've written with their new bandmates for over 700 people. “Girls Rock!” follows several campers: Laura, a Korean adoptee obsessed by death metal; Misty, who is emerging from a life of meth addiction and gang activity; and Amelia, an eight-year-old who writes experimental rock songs about her dog Pipi. What happens to the girls as they are given a temporary reprieve from being sexualized, analyzed and pressured to conform is truly revolutionary."
