From the first rebellious strains of the title tune by the Red Crayola, I knew Born In Flames (1983) was going to be a special movie. It was anhonor to talk about this timeless film with Director Lizzie Borden. She was deeply involved with the production of a new Blu-ray release of the film from Criterion Collection and we had a great talk about how Born in Flames was made,its evolving influence over the years, and how it felt to look back on it all in the production of this remarkable release. Born in Flames Soundtrack Playlisthttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj3-hIKmvt6VrjorUn01M3ub4_W6C7J94&si=BYys5Gqfy3765vlD The Official Born in Flames Websitehttps://www.borninflamesmovie.com/ Kathleen Hanna discusses Born in Flameshttps://thedissolve.com/features/mad-love/298-kathleen-hanna-on-the-film-thats-inspired-her-for-/ Criterion Collection Release of Born in Flameshttps://www.criterion.com/films/30707-born-in-flames
