In the near future, New York has entered the era of socialist democracy, but the ideal vision promised by the government has no chance to be realized. With the outbreak of the death of an African-American woman who participated in the social movement during her detention, there was a growing outcry of discontent in society, and feminists from all sides decided to work together as if a group of underground forces attacked the mainstream society on a large scale. The provocative radical political implications of this film, combined with the aesthetics of DIY-style documentaries and science fiction settings, became a classic that year, which not only stepped on the divided feminist groups at that time, but also paid tribute to New York's underground punk, the third World Liberation Movement, and the fighters who continued to fight for the feminist movement.
