Director's Statement: BRAVE LITTLE ARMY is about a fierce female friendship.

And it is a story of what ifs.

What if young girls were to respond to violence and harassment with outward aggression? Imagine if millions of girls all over the world, at the first sign of sexual harassment from a boy, lashed out and shut it down before it could manifest into a habit - into normal life - for both of them?

Our story follows four girls – Em, K, Lu and Dee – and the genesis of their friendship in 1984 as they rebel against societal expectations and process the trauma of domestic violence.

It is the first film in a trilogy.
