Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: angielski

An aspiring songwriter from a small steel town, Betty arrived on the 70's scene to break boundaries for women with her daring personality, iconic fashion and outrageous funk music.

She then, despite being banned and boycotted, went on to become the first black woman to perform, write and manage herself.
