WATCH THE TRAILER HERE
At age 15, feminist icon and activist Ani DiFranco was an emancipated minor and a singer-songwriter star in the coffee house music scene. At 19, she started Righteous Babe, her own record label, and released her self-titled first album a year later in 1990 — followed by 22 albums over the next 33 years and collaborations with Pete Seeger, Cyndi Lauper, and Prince. With intimate access to the 54-year-old’s creative and personal life — she is bisexual, married, a mother of two, and still “DIY all the way” — Dana Flor introduces the viewer to an artistically evolving, ardently self-evaluating version of the rebel prodigy; and draws decades-long fans into the vulnerable, real-time struggles of a middle-aged righteous babe.

“the film is so wonderful. At such a crucial time in our country’s history for women, marginalized people, and frankly every person who values love and inclusivity, this film is an urgent call to action as well as an action plan for those who give a damn. ”
