A political activist Jenny Shimada lives off the grid after being the mastermind behind the attack on the American Government. She agreed to take care of three fugitives on the run. One of them is the daughter of a newspaper mogul who becomes popular for her association with a revolutionary cell. Inspired by the news-breaking kidnap of heiress Patty Hearst in the year 1974, 'American Woman' re-imagines her time of hiding with the activist who takes care of her.Wikipedia
