Canada 2025, 107 min, Dir: Pollyanna Hardwicke-Brown
Bif Naked is more than just a rock star—she’s a survivor, a poet, and a trailblazer who shattered expectations at every turn. Born in India, adopted by American missionaries, and raised in Canada, Bif’s unconventional upbringing set the stage for a life that would be anything but ordinary. Bursting onto the music scene in the early ‘90s, she carved out a space in the male-dominated punk and alternative rock world with her unmistakable voice, raw lyrics, and fearless attitude. But behind the tattoos, the powerhouse performances, and the rebellious persona, was a woman fighting battles far beyond the stage. From surviving cancer to overcoming addiction, heartbreak, and industry hurdles, Bif has never backed down. Featuring never-before-seen footage, intimate interviews, and anthemic performances, BIF NAKED takes audiences on an electrifying ride through her life, from her rebellious punk roots to becoming one of Canada’s most beloved and influential musicians.
