Eight-year-old Amelia is crafting a 14-song cycle about her dog Peppi, but her mate Palace is more of a metal head. At Portland's Rock 'n Roll Camp for Girls, they join other 8-to-18-year-olds to bang out punk and metal songs on guitars, drums, and keyboards, while screaming into mics with revelatory abandon. Girls Rock!, the resulting documentary, takes its cues from a '90s-era DIY aesthetic and ideology (all clip-art animation and earnest females) that could benefit this decade. Even if feminism has fallen out of fashion, the doc reminds us, girls wielding guitars can always make a statement.
