Female Action Hero Retrospective - 2010s-2024

This cinematic retrospective of women in action cinema explores the female pioneers of action film that dominated the silent era, through the suffrage of the swashbucklers and westerns, to the stunt women, vigilantes, martial artists, and badasses that have inspired people all over the world.
This video is part celebration, part historical exploration, and part investigation into why the modern female action hero feels like a one-dimensional politicized weapon compared to her counterparts from previous decades.
