    Sep 30 2024
    Ani DiFranco, the renowned feminist folk singer, is the subject of a new documentary directed by Dana Flor, titled 1-800-ON-HER-OWN. The film explores DiFranco's lifelong commitment to activism and the challenges she has faced as a mother, artist, and independent musician. The conversation highlights DiFranco's impact on multiple generations, her use of music for political and social change, and the difficulties of pursuing a non-traditional career path. Director Dana Flor shares how she first met DiFranco, and the trust built between the two to bring a documentary together that shares so much of DiFranco's life that has not been seen before.

    The documentary will be screened in La Crosse on October 7th at the Rivoli Theatre and Pizzeria with DiFranco and director Dana Flor in attendance for a Q&A and meet-and-greet. Enjoy this conversation that illuminates the through-line of DiFranco's activism that is as relevant today as it has been since her journey began in the 90's.
