"She Said Boom: The Story of Fifth Column is the story of a group of young female artists from Toronto in the early 1980s. They united to use music, film and self-publication to defy conventions of art practice and gender ideas, and to challenge homophobia. These endeavours snowballed into global art and political movements. This film looks at their work and explores why you may not have heard of them, despite their impact." – Kevin Hegge
