Ani DiFranco leads a feminist folk-punk revolution in the new trailer for her upcoming documentary, '1-800-ON-HER-OWN.'
The clip offers a condensed but compelling look at the film, starting with a barrage of archival clips that show how DiFranco navigated the early days of her career, contending with a Nineties industry and media landscape that was often confounded by, if not outright hostile towards, everything she stood for and represented. “Oh, Ani DiFranco, she’s the folk singer, she’s the lesbian, she’s the this, she’s the that — how do you feel about that?” DiFranco herself quips in an old clip. “Whatever.
In a statement, Flor said she was drawn to make a doc about DiFranco “not just because she is an unheralded pioneer with a remarkable life, but because hers is so undeniably a story of our time.” She continued: “In this post-Roe world, with the foundations of democracy and civil rights on the very thinnest of ice, it’s more important than ever to recognize women like Ani, who has spent her lifetime ferociously fighting hate and misogyny, often at the expense of her personal life and career. For the last 30+ years, Ani has stayed true to herself, as a musician and activist, no matter what the cost.
