              Stories of dreams and memories of Japanese women. In this award winning documentary, Shelly Silver presents an intimate portrait of a group of Japanese women ranging in age from 15 to 82, talking about their lives, families and society. In these stories one can begin to see, from very personal and individual perspectives, the societal changes that have occurred over the last three generations for women in Japan, bringing an exciting and often conflicting array of choices and positions. Many of the stories revolve around the relationships these grandmothers, mothers and daughters have with each other, filled with respect, rebellion, loss and love.

              “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

              In March 2006, Code Pink invited eight Iraqi Women to the U.S. to speak about their experiences under the U.S. invasion and occupation. They were doctors, engineers, professors, and journalists. Two of the women had their entire families killed by U.S. troops. They were denied visas to enter the U.S. on the grounds that they did not have sufficient family to guarantee they would return to Iraq. The six women who were given visas travelled separately to dozens of cities throughout the U.S., speaking with community groups, churches, veterans, and the families of active duty GIs.

In fascinating detail, Kilbourne decodes an array of print and television advertisements to reveal a pattern of disturbing and destructive gender stereotypes. Her analysis challenges us to consider the relationship between advertising and broader issues of culture, identity, sexism, and gender violence.
