REBEL DYKES tells the story of a bunch of kick-ass young dykes who find each other in post-Punk London, and carve out a rebellion that has been detonating ever since. Using interviews, original music, animation and archive, REBEL DYKES recreates the lives of a group of friends who meet at Greenham Common peace camp. Returning to London, they fight, love and live together, finding the freedom and power to live out their politics, and create their own world.
