1-800-ON-HER-OWN

Ani DiFranco, founder of the first “woman-run non-corporate queer-happy” label, Righteous Babe Records, is at the center of this wild road trip from her punk-folk past to her life today as an activist and rock star.

About the Film

At age 15, feminist icon and activist Ani DiFranco was living on her own 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. She has put out 23 albums and collaborated with Pete Seeger, Cyndi Lauper, and Prince. With intimate access to the 54-year-old’s creative and personal life — now 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 the audience into the vulnerable, real-time struggles of a middle-aged righteous babe.
