A backstage pass to the Middle East’s first all-female metal band.
Observational music documentaries rarely come as likeable, refreshing or energising as this. In Beirut, a city seasoned by decades of war and turmoil, all-female thrash metal band Slave to Sirens are chasing stardom. The band’s fulcrum is a friendship as volatile as their hometown, with guitarists Lilas and Sherry negotiating the politics of their past romantic relationship alongside their creative partnership. The road trips, gigs and destructive temptations that form the core of every band’s life all hit very differently against the backdrop of the complex, fluctuating Lebanese society.
