About: WE ARE THE RADICAL MONARCHS documents an Oakland-based alternative to the Girl Scouts – specifically for girls of color, ages 8-13. The girls earn badges for units on social justice, such as Black Lives Matter, Radical Beauty, Disability Justice, and being an LGBTQ ally. Filmed over three years, we follow the dynamic Co-Founders as they face challenges in growing the organization, both pre-and-post the 2016 election. The mission of this unique group is to empower these girls, to “stay rooted in their collective power, brilliance, and leadership in order to make the world a more radical place.”
