"A universal story representative of the lack of care, respect and rights given to women and girls all over the world.
Lesli and Lupe are not fighting back through the courts. **Instead, they offer up their joyful, art-driven methods as a fresh way for young people to engage, build peace and heal deep wounds.**
The film shows them stage a community comparsa — an exuberant street performance featuring towering puppets, fire-breathing stilt walkers and thundering drums. They take their youth movement to the streets demanding the safety, dignity and freedom to feel joy for girls everywhere."
—John Moore, _Denver Gazette_
