“Anti-folk singer-songwriter, political activist, feminist icon and LGBTQ+ rights campaigner: it should be surprising that Ani DiFranco has also been a pioneering force in independent music for over three decades.”—Andy Fyfe, Mojo
In the early 90s, Ani DiFranco crashed onto the music scene as a thundering new voice. Unapologetically bisexual, political, and feminist, Ani became a worldwide phenomenon when she founded the first “woman-run non-corporate queer-happy” label, Righteous Babe records, beating the male-dominated music industry at their own game. The press called her “an entrepreneurial wonder” and “the industry’s worst nightmare.” Ani simply called herself a folk singer, dedicated to art, activism and staying true to herself, no matter the cost.
The fiery portrait, 1-800-ON-HER-OWN takes you on a wild cinematic road trip through Ani DiFranco’s punk-folk past to her life today as a passionate activist and groundbreaking indie rock star. Throughout the ride, she’s brutally honest, famously foul-mouthed and totally hilarious. Her daily challenges resonate as an enduring, inspiring musical icon and a relatable contemporary “everywoman” with her own epic fails and hard-won victories. 2024, U.S., DCP, 77 minutes. Recommended for 16+
