              “The following is a true fact about American feminism: Courtney Love’s mother was Katherine Power’s therapist. GOOD SISTER/BAD SISTER is about fugitivism. Therapy. Rock and roll. FBI harassment of lesbians. The legacy and memory of radical feminism. Lipstick. Violence. Surrender. Bank-robbing. Generational politics. History. Through documentary technique, such as talking-head interviews and dramatic re-creations, Johnson connects notorious baby-doll grunge rocker Courtney Love with Katherine Power, a sixties activist and fugitive of the FBI for 23 years. Through the link of Linda Carroll, who is coincidentally both Love’s estranged mother and Power’s therapist, Johnson creates a multi-layered dialogue between the women that exemplifies and comments on female transgression within the public arena. When feminism is still the dirty F word of the Nineties, how do women fight American disorder without just being bad girls in a male-defined world' [...] Just because the sixties was a mind fuck, does it mean that we can never ask Utopian questions again?” – Berlin Film Festival 1997

              Directed by Billy Luther, whose own mother was crowned Miss Navajo 1966, the film reveals the inner beauty of the young women who compete in this “celebration of womanhood.” Contestants must not only show the same poise and grace as in other pageants, they must also answer tough questions in Navajo and demonstrate proficiency in skills essential to daily tribal life: fry-bread making, rug weaving, and sheep butchering. For the past 50 years, Miss Navajo Nation has celebrated women and their traditional values, language and inner beauty. The film follows the path of 21-year-old Crystal Frazier, a not so fluent Navajo speaker and self-professed introvert, as she undertakes the challenges of the pageant. It is through Crystal's quiet perseverance that we glimpse the strength and power of Navajo womanhood. The film reveals the importance of cultural preservation, the role of women in continuing dying traditions, and the surprising role that a beauty pageant can play.
