When you think of Queens you probably don't think of heavy metal music. In Botswana, however, heavy metal fans are something like royalty. The Marok, as they are called there, thoroughly enjoy the un-Christian music, head banging and dancing around with glee, much to the chagrin of their compatriots. Three such (empowered) women, Queen Florah, Queen Ludo and Queen Gloria, are featured in Sarah Vianney's documentary. Find out more by clicking on the button above.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a living legend and feminist icon. Or as the theatrical one-sheet for the film calls her (pictured to the left): "Hero. Icon. Dissenter." So it's no wonder that her story would be told on the big screen.  The 2018 documentary film RBG chronicles Ginsburg's intellectual prowess, legal triumphs and all-around badassness.
