So very true; girls do rock. And this movie sets out to prove it! Opening in NYC this Friday the 7th, Girls Rock! is a documentary about The Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls where girls ages 8-18 learn to how to be self-motivated rockers (forming bands, writing songs, and building community).
The primary subjects of “Girls Rock!” are Laura, an articulate adopted Korean obsessed with death metal; Misty, who is emerging from a life of meth-addiction, homelessness and gang activity; Palace, a sweet-seeming 8-year-old with a heavy metal sneer, and Amelia, who's writing a 14-song cycle about her dog Pippi. Forming bands, writing songs and playing a gig in one week, these girls and the rest of the camp engage in an experiment in empowerment that will leave no-one unchanged.

Mindy, you didn't need to be taught how to rock your shit. You just do it, day in and day out.
