ABOUT THE FILM

The Lunachicks, N.Y.C.'s most legendary group of '90s punk rock heroines, reflect on their hilarious crusade for equality, and are propelled towards a triumphant 20-year reunion.

30 years after their teenaged debut, we meet the Lunachicks as they convene to work on their memoir “Fallopian Rhapsody." From their gritty ‘80s punk roots to '90s worldwide cult band, defying a sexist industry with their irreverent humor, theatricality, and musical chops, the film brings their history to life while documenting their hilarious and poignant journey back to the stage.
