By lucky chance, she joins a feminist art collective at the epicenter of the 1970’s art world, New York City. The Heretics focuses on one group as a microcosm of the larger movement. That group, the Heresies Collective, published: HERESIES; A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics from 1977-1992. The hundreds of collective members are now scattered around the globe; accomplished artists, writers, architects, painters, filmmakers, designers, editors, curators, and teachers. Twenty-four members of the collective speak intimately with the filmmaker about the extraordinary times they shared, challenging the terms of gender and power and re-imagining the lives of generations to come.

Critic Reviews

Melissa Anderson

For a movement that was "fundamentally leaderless," Braderman's film gives its participants an opportunity to rightfully claim: "We thought we could change things--and, in fact, we did." Read full review

Rachel Saltz

Gives a joyful sense of what it was like to be a feminist in the 1970s, a time when “everything seemed possible.” Read full review

Raven Snook

It’s an unnecessarily quirky affair, with collages, archival footage and interviews in extreme close-up, which--perhaps intentionally--make it seem like an experimental ’70s throwback. Read full review
