Westwood: Punk. Icon. Activist

An intimate and inspiring portrait of a true icon: Dame Vivienne Westwood, Punk Rock's Grande Dame, agent provocateur, the doyenne of British fashion, eco-activist and one of the most influential cultural originators in recent history. Today the Westwood name sits alongside Gucci, Dior and Saint Laurent but what's unique about Vivienne is that she is the only namesake who still owns and runs her empire, and at seventy-six shows no sign of slowing down. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema - Documentary at the **Sundance Film Festival**. *"It provides a fascinating, involving glimpse of both who Westwood was back in the day and who she is at this particular moment in time, so much so that we genuinely miss her once the credits begin to roll." - Kenneth Turan, **The Los Angeles Times***
