Synopsis

The world of amplified guitars and distorted sound is predominantly male-dominated. But if we listen more closely and attentively, the story is different. From the 1950s to the present day, director Francisca Marvão opens the treasure chest of living testimonies, and from it, images and sounds begin to emerge that have never before entered the canon of Portuguese music. The girls are out there... rocking as if there's no tomorrow. "She's a Song" is a journey of discovery through the world of rock in Portugal, in the voices of its illustrious unknowns: the women.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
