Judy Versus Capitalism

Radical feminist, street fighter, practical dreamer. This lyrical doc, shot in super 8 mm, recounts Judy Rebick’s pivotal role in securing women’s rights over their own bodies in Canada. She lays out the key tenets of second wave feminism, even as a family time bomb threatens. The film closes with a harrowingly personal account of a divided self, and a startling embrace of mental illness as creativity.
