"'Promoters said, 'You can't put two women on the same bill, people won't come.' That's complete bullsh*t, and it put a huge fire under my butt to prove them wrong,' McLachlan explains in the trailer."
"Featuring artists who performed at the festival, like Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Paula Cole, Jewel, Ma, Natalie Merchant, Indigo Girls and Emmylou Harris, the documentary also highlights a new generation of artists, including Olivia Rodrigo and Brandi Carlile."
"Along with interviews with artists, fans and festival organizers, 'Lilith Fair' draws from more than 600 hours of never-before-seen archival footage, celebrating the festival's impact, while confronting the backlash that tried to diminish it. 'Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery - The Untold Story' begins streaming September 21 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+."
