It’s no secret that nearly every genre of music outside of pop itself suffers from a moderate or severe gender imbalance problem, but the spotlight rarely falls on how women fare in electronic dance music.

But as long as the doc is content at offering anecdotal looks at about a half-dozen of the female artists who’ve bucked the odds and made it big, or are still trying to, it’s about as inspirational as it means to be.
