TERMINAL ISLAND
(1973) Directed by Stephanie Rothman
On Terminal Island, a brutal, feudalistic penal colony, female prisoners are treated as chattel until one woman rises up to fight back, with the help of a more egalitarian group of convicts. Here, director Stephanie Rothman mobilizes the lurid tropes of the prison flick into an action-packed counter cultural allegory of patriarchal domination and feminist revolution.
