Futuristic flying troop transports crash through the windows of a tower topped by gigantic neon-lit eyes and occupied by armed defenders. The policemen exchange gunfire and grenades with cultists whose hoods depict an enormous eye.

I Was A Teenage Feminist examines how and why an uneasiness with the word “feminist” has developed among modern, young women. Throughout the film, Shechter expresses her own struggle with identity as it relates to modern feminism and past iterations of the feminist movements. To illustrate Shechter’s beginnings as the titular Teenage Feminist, the film uses music and scenes from "Free to Be… You and Me", archival footage from dated educational movies and home videos of Shechter as a teenager.

Repères biographiques sur l'artiste mexicaine Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Ses souvenirs d'enfance, ses souvenirs douloureux aussi : la poliomyélite qui, à l'âge de six ans, atrophie sa jambe droite, son terrible accident d'autobus en 1925, ses fausses couches, les interventions chirurgicales incessantes. La peinture devient le combat de son existence. Elle rencontre le muraliste Diego Rivera qu'elle admire et qu'elle épouse en 1929 : une relation complexe et tumultueuse. Son adhésion aux idées communistes Sa vision du peuple mexicain et de son folklore. Ses références à la culture amérindienne. Sa relation avec le révolutionnaire russe, pourchassé par Staline, Léon Trotski, accueilli avec son épouse, en 1937, dans sa maison familiale, la Casa Azul. Son œuvre picturale reflétant, tout à la fois, son exubérance et son désespoir. Voici le premier passage d'un texte qui, à la façon d'un prologue-résumé du sujet, apparaît dans le film : « De son lit de moribonde, Frida Kahlo, la grande artiste-peintre, reconstruit, en suivant les palpitations authentiques de sa mémoire, c'est-à-dire, de manière décousue et fragmentée, uniquement à travers les images, sa vie et son œuvre incontournable de l'époque du muralisme mexicain.

The Hobbit (1977)
, 1h18
Directed by Arthur Rankin Jr., Jules Bass
Origin USA
Genres Science fiction, Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Animation
Themes Films about animals, Feminist films, Films about magic and magicians, Monde imaginaire, Middle-earth films, Films about dragons, Political films, Children's films
Actors Orson Bean, Richard Boone, Hans Conried, John Huston, Otto Preminger, Cyril Ritchard

The plot of the animated production is in most respects similar to that of the book, which was already styled as a classic children's novel, and so is adapted in that vein for a younger audience; but certain plot points are significantly compressed due to the time limitations of the format. In addition, certain scenes are obviously edited for commercial breaks. In general, alterations include simple omission of additional detail, as the producers expressed their desire to adhere to the written text, including lyrics adapted from the songs in the book but in much longer and greater format.

The woman on the phone tells Claire that the only trustworthy abortionist she knows is located in Puerto Rico, and Claire cannot afford the travel costs. After a failed attempt to end her pregnancy with a knitting needle, Claire eventually contacts a man who comes to her home and performs a clandestine procedure on her while she lies on top of a kitchen table.
