About the Film

Untouchable Girls follows the girls from their happy childhood on a Waikato dairy farm - where they grew up singing to the cows - to the territorial army where they quickly became the Vera Lynns of their battalion. They came of age performing on the streets of Auckland during the heady days of political protest marches in the early 80s, and quickly joined the forefront of progressive social change during the early struggles for a Nuclear-Free NZ, Maori Land Rights, against apartheid (1981 Springbok Tour), and Homosexual Law Reform.
