She Will Rock You
She Will Rock You, "The Story Of The Women Who Dared To Rock The World", is a rockumentary starring Australia's newly crowned Queen of Rock, Cynthia Galle. A narrated short story of each selected female rock elite whose songs are performed live on stage with rare footage and photos on a huge screen behind the band.
The rock industry has for years been predominately male dominated. No more so than the 50s and early 60s where it was understood and accepted a woman should be the housewife baking cakes and looking after a tribe of kids.
Yes there were female artists, however their careers were limited and restricted.
Then came the likes of Janice Joplin , Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin, to name a few, who paved the way for a tsunami of some of the most talented, influential and determined female rock legends on the planet.
She Will Rock You tells in short stories between live performances of Joplin, Franklin, Heart, Divinyls, Joan Jet, Benatar and many more, right through to present day Pink and all of the big rock female artists.
