This film brings you face-to-face with the groundbreaking journey of the first bona fide female rock star.

Her impact on the face of rock music, particularly for women, is profound and enduring. Experience her audacious forays from rock into other musical genres, each time defying naysayers who predicted the ruin of her career.
