Overview

• Directed by Ally Pankiw, the feature was produced by ABC News Studios with support from Lilith Fair founders Sarah McLachlan, Terry McBride, Dan Fraser and Marty Diamond.
• The trailer highlights McLachlan recalling promoters who refused to book multiple women on one bill and her account of bomb threats targeting the tour.
• Interviews span original performers such as Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Paula Cole, Jewel, Mýa, Natalie Merchant, Indigo Girls and Emmylou Harris, alongside contemporary voices including Brandi Carlile and Olivia Rodrigo.
• The project draws on more than 600 hours of archival footage and stems from the 2019 Vanity Fair/Epic Magazine oral history Building a Mystery.
• The film premieres at TIFF on Sept. 17 before a U.S. streaming launch on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on Sept. 21; Lilith Fair’s 1997 debut run grossed $16 million, the top U.S. festival tour that year.
