F***Y: The Right to Rock reveals the untold story of a 1960s California garage band co-founded by two q***r, Filipina American sisters with other teenage girls, which morphed into the ferocious rock group F***y, the first band of all women to release an LP with a major record label. Despite releasing five critically acclaimed albums, counting David Bowie as one of their most vocal fans, F***y's groundbreaking impact in music has been lost in the mists of time... until bandmates reunite 50 years later with a new rock record deal and chance to right the wrongs of music history.
F***y blasted glass ceilings of racism and sexism back in the 1960s and 70s, with the le***an bandmates told they either hide their LBGTQ identity or leave the band. And with their new album, these feisty women of color — now in their late 60s — now take on the stigmas of ageism as well. F***Y: The Right to Rock ultimately raises critical questions about identity, perseverance, love, family and the elusive alchemy of pursuing the American Dream.
