- Synopsis:
- Meant to take place in the near future, this film looks at the rights of women under a socialist society in the U.S. - and finds nothing has changed. Accompanied by a strong musical soundtrack, the composition of women's groups is explored - from the most conservative to the most revolutionary. And given the events in the film, it would appear that only revolution is going to work in the future if women really want to achieve equality with men in terms of power, recognition, and influence.

No Future Without Us - Born in Flames review by griggs
What a film. Born in Flames feels like pirate radio, punk fury, lesbian separatism, and feminist revolt all crashing into each other and somehow making perfect sense.
It’s rough, angry, funny, and properly incendiary. The whole thing plays like a warning shot to patriarchy, liberal complacency, and anyone who thought queer women would just wait their turn.
It doesn’t age so much as keep finding new things to set fire to.
