Beautiful Was the Fight is an engaging and deeply personal portrait of women artists from Boston’s vibrant music scene fighting for equality, recognition, and meaningful change in a world that too often sidelines their voices.
Through powerful live performances, behind-the-scenes recording sessions, and candid interviews, the film delves into the complex layers of identity, resilience, and the transformative power of music to forge profound human connections.
