"A Miami Tail" is a contemporary version of Lysistrata, a classic Greek comedy by Aristophanes. "A Miami Tail" has Alicia (Trina) leading the women of Liberty City in a protest against gang violence and disrespect of women in their neighborhood by refusing sex to their gangbanging boyfriends.

Following ancient customs, a 10 year old girl is banished to a basic hut outside the village for menstruating. There she goes through a trauma of isolation, pain and feels ostracized. The story depicts how these ancient menstrual myths still haunt Indian women, and the stigma of menstruation is hard to overcome in this 21st century.
