Plot:
Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a revolution in which a socialist government gains power, this films presents a dystopia in which the issues of many progressive groups - minorities, liberals, gay rights organizations, feminists - are ostensibly dealt with by the government, and yet there are still problems with jobs, with gender issues, with governmental preference and violence. In New York City, in this future time, a group of women decide to organize and mobilize, to take the revolution farther than any man - and many women - ever imagined in their lifetimes.

Summary
"A futuristic fable of feminist turmoil still brewing ten years after the Second American Revolution. When Adelaide Norris, the black radical founder of the Woman's Army, is mysteriously killed, a diverse coalition of women - across all lines of race, class, and sexual preference - emerges to blow the System apart. With their fury growing and all peaceful options exhausted, women overcome divisions of race, class, and sexual orientation to form a guerilla movement to take over control of the media."
My notes
This film has previously circulated as a torrent on a site which I used but is not very well known. It has since lapsed from all but one tracker and I have brought it back as a new torrent from the DVD.
"Born In Flames" appeared as a torrent during the beginning of the Occupy Movement which I do not feel was coincidental. While this is not a "Wild In The Streets" (Robert Thom, writer 1968) depiction of what a youth takeover would look like, Lizzie Borden places the action after the takeover. This is a film made in the 1980's with 1980's tools and it is a highly independent. It's an 80's show so think radio as surviving after the Lizzie Borden Second Revolution. Made from the DVD originally as AVI the quality was 80's-style transfered most likely from a VHS.
The use of radio (as on the poster image) is particularly telling for me. Radio is the most democratic medium and remains so today in spite of handheld devices. Everybody has radio. And in developing countries or radical societies, control of the radio -- the free airwaves -- means that the message is not restricted to expensive tools. But this is hardly the main subject of the film. It is, however an important detail as the medium selected for Lizzie Borden's portrayal of the future. Even though IMDb lists it as a comedy drama I don't think it was intended as humor or sarcasm. To paraphrase Occupy: this is what independent film looks like. It's a piece of history.
