Metal may be dominated by male acts, but Slave To Sirens, the only all-female Middle Eastern thrash band, have more reason to scream truth to power than anyone in this Sundance smash hit.  

Director Rita Baghdadi gets backstage access, capturing what shifting the cultural pendulum really looks like - a poorly advertised Glastonbury gig, venues that ban heavy metal, the band's struggle to gain traction outside their dedicated fans, and the volatile relationship between its founders and guitarists, Shery and Lilas.

Despite the odds stacked against them, the magnetic women of Slaves To Sirens are determined to be a call for revolution in a culturally and politically turbulent Lebanon.
