The documentary film GIRL GONE BAD is a wild ride into the extraordinary world of female motorcyclists, an amazing group of women few people know anything about, with hard-core biker Dusty, a native-born Apache, ex-felon, ex-go-go dancer, and a single mother of three as our guide.

Whatever they're called - outriders and outlaws, club mamas, Dykes on Bikes, weekend warriors, biker babes - each character we meet along the road struggles to defy traditional stereotypes in the sexually charged world of motorcycling, and in the process, establishes her own uncompromising identity.

GIRL GONE BAD has at its documentary heart the quest to understand the true nature of freedom and self discovery. Filmmaker Louis Yansen, whose previous award-winning dramatic feature film MISPLACED was televised on PBS-TV/American Playhouse and screened at many film festivals including London, Toronto, Hong Kong, Seattle, Deauville among others, teams up with Robert DeMaio, editor of 1996 Sundance Film Festival's Playboy Freedom of Expression Award winner FEAR & LEARNING AT HOOVER ELEMENTARY to complete this provocative documentary film.

Running Time: 57 minutes
