Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery

The untold story of the groundbreaking all-women music festival, started by singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan in the late 1990s. McLachlan was climbing the charts and selling records, but everyone in the industry told her no one would buy tickets to an all-female show. She ignored them all and, in 1996, brought Paula Cole on tour as her opening act. It went so well McLachlan decided to organize a festival that featured women-led bands and solo female artists.
