Violence Grows: Toby Mott is a powerful and expansive look at four iconoclastic female icons of the 1980s. A four-part journey, centered on three punk artists and a divisive politician. All four reshaped archaic ideas about identity, sexuality, and the role of women in a dysfunctional society. These four determined women set out to shake up the world they lived in.
