This is a live soundtrack myself and my brother John performed as part of Vaginal Davis' silent film series, Rising Stars/Falling Stars. The film, What 80 Million Women Want was a film about Women's suffrage. John and I thought to question this in light of the fact that in many countries political prisoners cannot vote, and in the case of Aileen Wournos, the State revoked her right to live. To do this we collaged interviews with actual Women suffragrettes, women anarchists who were against the vote, as well as interviews with Assata Shakur and Aileen Wournos. This we mixed with critical feminist theory, and elements of relevant popular song. To all this we also played live instruments. The result is re-created here. It is just shy of an hour, so if you have that time please take a listen.
