She Said Boom tells the story of Fifth Column, Toronto’s all-female post-punk band, providing an insider’s look at the queer art scene of the 1980s.

“They were a group of women who were forming a band that was different than what was already going on in Toronto,” says director Kevin Hegge.

Xtra interviewed Hegge for the film’s world premiere at the 2012 Hot Docs Film Festival in Toronto.
