Ovarian Psycos - Women Find Strength in Numbers - Clip

In this excerpt from Independent Lens documentary Ovarian Psycos, Xela, Andi Xoch, "Joss the Boss," and other East Los Angeles cyclists talk about how empowering it is to ride as part of a group of women of color, to claim a safe space in otherwise dangerous areas. One of the most important parts of these rides is the dialogue the women have together, to educate and support each other.
