1-800-ON-HER-OWN
1-800-ON-HER-OWN is a cinematic musical road trip through the life of feminist singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, founder of the first “woman-run non corporate queer-happy” record label Righteous Babe Records. Throughout the ride from her punk-folk past to her life today as activist, rock star and mother, she’s brutally honest, famously foul-mouthed and totally hilarious. Her daily challenges resonate as we reveal both an enduring, inspiring musical icon and a very relatable contemporary “everywoman” with her own epic fails and hard-won victories.
