Dolle Mina: Guts to change noisily

Dolle Mina has been imprinted on the collective memory as a group of gutsy girls who demanded change through spectacular and absurd actions. Aletta brings back to life the demonstrations, discussions and feelings of the very first Dolle Minas, and gives voice to young girls of today as they examine their own perspective on society.Length: 35 minutes
