CIFF’s Top Docs (formerly known as Doc Soup) is a monthly feature-length documentary series running January - June 2021 online and in cinema.

ANNY: THE RIGHT TO ROCK screens online May 6 - 9.
FANNY: THE RIGHT TO ROCK celebrates the untold story of a Filipina American-founded California garage band that morphed into the ferocious rock group FANNY, the first all-female band to release an LP with a major label (Warner/Reprise/1970).

Adored by David Bowie, the band's groundbreaking impact in music has been lost in the mists of time... until now. Fifty years later, bandmates reunite with a new record deal and a second chance to right the wrongs of history. Also starring Bonnie Raitt, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, B52's Kate Pierson, Todd Rundgren, The Go Go's Kathy Valentine, Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian, The Runaways' Cherie Currie, Steely Dan's Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, CHICAGO's Danny Seraphine, Charles Neville, Gail Ann Dorsey, Earl Slick and other music legends.
