Rock, Rage & Self Defense: An Oral History of Seattle’s Home Alive is a documentary film by Leah Michaels and Rozz Therrien. 

The film follows the origin story of Seattle’s grass-roots, self defense collective Home Alive. Prompted by the **** and murder of The Gits’ lead singer Mia Zapata, and other deaths in the Arts and Music community. Scared and infuriated, her friends and community members came together to share theirs fears and discuss how to be safe in that environment. The result was a low-cost self defense program. Understanding the connection between self defense and self-expression, nine women politicized the Seattle scene.
