Brilliant vocal... brilliant lyrics!

At a new life we took aim
We set the vast conglomerates aflame
The working class avowed its name
Of America’s mysteries none remain
We broke the hidden tyrannies
Of the reptilian joint-stock companies...

We are born in flames!

Hi Andy P ‪@subcinema.bsky.social‬, I so appreciate it. Again, many thanks for showing Born In Flames and Happy Holiday!

Understood! Many apologies, will the current BluRay suffice? - Andy P.

Yay!!! @ subcinema.bsky.social but PLEASE not VHS 😱 The restored version is so much better. I will find another way!!!

Thank you, Tom! The honor is mine:)

Hi @tomhall.bsky.social, thank you for watching BORN IN FLAMES. I hoped the film wouldn't be relevant today but it's more important than ever to cross race and class lines to, as you incisively write, to "collectiviz(e) the process, locally and inclusively, to help us begin the fight immediately! ✊"

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.
