The Bellwether
Joanne appears to be a regular book store owner to the rest of the world, but the Conspiracy has other ideas. She's a potential threat. She's a forerunner: a quiet leader on her path to fully expressing herself. When they kidnap Joanne in order to shatter her and force her to conform, they realize that she is far more than she ever imagined. Joanne is a feminist thriller set in a single room with a single protagonist. How can one be oneself in the face of widespread misogyny and hatred? This is a modern rite of passage story that most women must go through in order to become fully human beings (both overt and institutionalized). It's also the first female-led one-person film.
