The Chihuahuan desert, larger than Montana, hides the valley of Cuatrocienegas, full of natural springs and unique fish species. The Sierra Madre Occidentalis forests shelter wild chillies, and the Sonoran Desert foothills have iconic saguaro cactus that nurture diverse wildlife, including ferruginous pygmy owls and pallid bats.

Little did they know their garage band would evolve into the legendary rock group Fanny, the first all-women band to release an LP with a major record label. Despite their critically-acclaimed albums and tours with famed bands, Fanny’s groundbreaking impact was written out of history, until bandmates reunite 50 years later with a new record deal. With archival footage intercut with releasing a new LP, the film includes interviews with many music icons, including Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Bonnie Raitt, The Go-Go’s Kathy Valentine, and David Bowie. Fighting early barriers of race, gender and sexuality in the music industry, and later ageism, the incredible women of Fanny are ready to claim their place in the halls of rock ‘n’ roll fame.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tues, 5/23\u003c/b>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cb>11pm Asian Americans #104: Generation Rising\u003c/b>\u003cb>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Follow a young generation’s fight for equality in the fields, on campuses and in the culture, claiming a new identity: Asian Americans.
