Terminal Island + ScreenTalk with Stephanie Rothman (Zoom)  (18*)

Hidden Figures: Stephanie Rothman

A woman wields a knife on a beach.

A cult favourite for exploitation cinema fans, Stephanie Rothman brings sex and bloodshed to the screen with a provocative survival thriller that provides biting commentary on the US Justice system.  

With the abolishment of the death penalty, inmates are exiled to Terminal Island where they must fight to survive or die trying. Carmen (Ena Hartman) is a new arrival, one of the few women sent to this lawless land that’s controlled by the tyrannical Bobby (Sean Kenney), where female prisoners are subjected to his sadistic pleasures. Carmen rebels by leading an underground resistance group who strive to overthrow this dictatorship and the men in power. 

Rothman continues to explore gender politics and sexual violence by foregrounding the experiences of her female characters. It’s an ambitious, edgy film that feels even more relevant today.
