About the Film<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Allee Willis was a force of nature\u2014bold, brilliant, and unapologetically herself. The Grammy-winning songwriter behind September<\/em> and I’ll Be There for You<\/em> (yes, the Friends<\/em> theme song!), Allee lived in a world as colourful as her wardrobe. But behind the electric prints and legendary house parties was a woman navigating the complexities of identity, creativity, and self-acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She spent her life documenting it all\u2014from her Detroit childhood in the ’50s to the dizzying heights of success. Now, her ultimate wish comes to life: a documentary that stitches together her personal archive, her own words, and the voices of those who knew and loved her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
