Born In Flames (1983) dir. Lizzie Borden.
Groups of women organize and develop strategies to fight back social injustices. When the leader of one group, the openly lesbian Adelaide Norris, is murdered while in government custody, these groups are galvanized to take greater and more direct action. Born In Flames (1983) raises women-of-color feminist critiques of the category's false universalism, dramatizing and visualizing the controversies between white feminist and women-of-color feminists that remain central to feminist and queer organizing today.
