"In Spring of 1996, my senior year of high school, I documented a group of 8th grade girls who were notorious for their crass behavior and allegedly bad hygiene...", the film begins. Shot in 1996 and edited in 2000, this is a short documentary about a group of 13-year-old 'riot grrrls' in Los Angeles who were socially ostracized by their peers and upperclassmen.

you honestly couldn’t write this shit, that’s how perfect this time capsule is for how girls and women view their place in society. the way everyone talks about each other is painful but also so blatantly honest in their own options. all of this is rooted in internalized misogyny, because of the hate towards girls who conform to the patriarchal standard vs. the girls who don’t. and yes there should be something said about the fact that all of these girls are privileged, regarding wealth or race because those who are rebelling aren’t women of color and don’t live in poverty so they aren’t faced with serious discrimination. still i admire the push these girls demonstrated on conventional beauty during this time.

Perfect example of how anyone slightly different gets treated in high school. People can be so cruel
