FANNY: The Right to Rock reveals the untold story of a self-formed garage band -- which included Filipina American and queer bandmates -- that morphed into the ferocious rock group Fanny, the first band of women to release an LP with a major record label (Warner/Reprise, 1970). Despite releasing five critically-acclaimed albums between 1970-75, counting David Bowie as one of their most vocal fans, Fanny's groundbreaking influence 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. The film includes testimonials by music royalty including Joe Elliott, Bonnie Raitt, Todd Rundgren, Kathy Valentine, John Sebastian, Kate Pierson, Charles Neville, Cherie Currie, Earl Slick, Gail Ann Dorsey and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.
