Punk-folk revolutionary Ani DiFranco shattered music industry norms when she founded Righteous Babe Records in 1990, becoming a fierce voice for a generation of queer women.
This intimate documentary captures DiFranco’s journey from indie icon to Grammy-winner while balancing artistry, activism, and motherhood today. Director Dana Flor crafts a powerful portrait of an artist who has spent decades fighting for reproductive justice and LGBTQIA+ visibility while refusing to compromise her truth.

Calgary Queer Arts Society honours and acknowledges Moh’kinsstis, the lands and oral practices of the Blackfoot Confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations; the îethka Nakoda Nations: Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney; and the Tsuut’ina Nation. We also recognize this territory as home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, Districts 5 and 6. Finally, we acknowledge all nations, genders and spirits who live, work, and play across Turtle Island.
We are only the latest to live, create and gather here, and so it is only right that we should acknowledge those who have come before us; their feasts and family gatherings, art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony, that have been happening right here, on this land, for more generations than any of us can count.
As we enter and care for the relationships made possible through our work, we see every gathering as an opportunity to engage and walk a path of reconciliation; in doing so, we hope to build connections of inclusion, respect, and shared creativity.
