We Are the Radical Monarchs

About This Movie

We Are the Radical Monarchs offers a raw and intimate glimpse into the lives of young girls of color who are not just learning about activism—they're living it. The film captures their vibrant energy as they participate in marches and community events, all while donning their brown berets and those striking badges. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments of joy and seriousness to coexist, creating a tone that feels both urgent and hopeful. The girls' voices, amplified through megaphones, ring out with a clarity that resonates beyond their age. It’s a documentary that doesn’t shy away from the complexities of growing up in a marginalized community, nor does it gloss over the beauty of these young activists embracing their identities. Very distinctive in its focus on intersectionality and grassroots activism.
