Nice & Rough: Black Women in Rock
Project Description: Nice & Rough is a groundbreaking documentary that pays homage to the women who were a defining element of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1960s, and introduces the generation of women inspired by their contributions. This film provides an intimate, candid and inspiring testament to genre-busting, and to what it takes to follow your calling in an atmosphere that denies your very existence. Music from all walks of rock will be the soundscape for this film, from punk-grunge to ghetto rock, metal rock, hard rock and funk rock.

Locations: Los Angeles, California; Seattle, Washington; Atlanta, Georgia; New York, New York
