About the film

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.
