Liza Johnson's GOOD SISTER/BAD SISTER is a complex investigation into the personal lives and public personas of two diverse feminist spectacles, Courtney Love and Katherine Power. Through documentary technique, such as talking-head interviews and dramatic re-creations, Johnson connects notorious baby-doll grunge rocker Courtney Love with Katherine Power, a sixties activist and fugitive of the FBI for 23 years. Through the link of Linda Caroll, who is coincidentally both Love's estranged mother and Power's therapist, Johnson creates a multi-layered dialogue between the women that exemplifies and comments on female transgression within the public arena.

When feminism is still the dirty F word of the Nineties, how do women fight American disorder without just being bad girls in a male defined world? (...) "Just because the Sixties was a mind fuck, does it mean that we can never ask Utopian questions again?"

Liza Johnson was born in Portsmouth (Ohio) on December 13, 1970. She is a videomaker and freelance editor currently living in New York.
