»They call it climbing and we call it visibility
They call it coolness and we call it visibility
They call it way too rowdy, we call it finally free«
– Le Tigre, from the song Viz

Kathleen Hanna was a pioneer of the Riot Grrrl movement and frontwoman of the feminist punk band Bikini Kill. After Bikini Kill broke up at the end of the 1990s, she and fanzine writer Johanna  Fateman and video artist Sadie Benning set up the no less radical electroclash band Le Tigre. When Sadie Benning left the band, her place was taken by JD Samson. In their music, Le Tigre pick up on feminist, queer and other political themes – with their convictions mirrored in the everyday life of the band. There are no set roles (as we know from rock bands) and each member can assume any function. Since they see themselves as performance artist, they add multimedia and performance-art elements to their live shows.
From 2004 to 2005, the film accompanies the band on their last world tour through four continents and ten countries. Thanks to an edit mix of concerts, backstage material and interviews, Kerthy  Fix provides a vivid documentary of life on the road for the musicians, gets behind their motivation and also records their subversive attempts to counteract the sexism and homophobia inherent in the world of rock music.
