Street Heroines is an award-winning feature-length documentary celebrating the courage and creativity of women who despite lack of recognition have been an integral part of the graffiti and street art movement since the beginning. Following TooFly, Fusca and Magrela, and punctuated by historical anecdotes from pioneering NY-based artists Lady Pink, Swoon, and iconic photographer Martha Cooper, Street Heroines captures the collective outcry of female street artists, from NYC to Mexico to Sao Paulo, Brazil and beyond, who are indisputably a part of the worldwide movement.

Welcome to Riotsville USA – a point in American history when the nation’s rulers–politicians, bureaucrats, police–were faced with the mounting militancy of the late 1960s, and did everything possible to win the war in the streets. Using training footage of Army-built model towns called “Riotsvilles” where military and police were trained to respond to civil disorder, in addition to nationally broadcast news media, director Sierra Pettengill connects the stagecraft of “law and order” to the real violence of state practice. Recovering an obscured history whose effects have shaped the present in ways both insidious and explosive, Riotsville, USA is a poetic and furious reflection on the rebellions of the 1960s – and the machine that wanted to destroy them.

Starring: John Turturro, John Goodman, Judy Davis, Michael Lerner, John Mahoney, Tony Shalhoub
