October 12

The grammy-nominated and Emmy-nominated Singer, Actress, Producer and Business woman Selena Gomez is teaming up with black activist Stacey Adams for the documentary Louder: The soundtrack of change.

Directed by Kristi Jacobson, the documentary will narrate a celebration of music and rallying cry across generations, genres, anchored by female icons whose songs and activism inspired the fight for equality, empowering all.

With the participations of: Kathleen Haana, H.E.R, Clover Hope, Suzy Esposito, Chaka Khan, Melissa Etheridge ,Linda Rondstadt, Rhianna Goldens and more, the documentary will premiere on HBO MAX on October 17th.

The film is an emotional and inspiring journey filled with stunning archival footage, revealing interviews, and personal accounts from a powerful group of fearless female artists – from present-day Rhiannon Giddens summoning deep-rooted emotions on a banjo, to H.E.R. processing her grief through her powerful 2020 ballad "I Can't Breathe," to Melissa Etheridge bravely coming out on TV at the peak of early 1990s homophobia, to Mickey Guyton's present-day struggles as a Black woman in country music. Guided by esteemed journalists, including J Wortham, Puja Patel, and Clover Hope, we are also reminded of the groundbreaking women of 90s hip-hop, highlighting artists like Queen Latifah and Salt-N-Pepa, as well as an interview with Kathleen Hanna whose "Rebel Girl" reflected the rage and anger of the Riot GRRRL movement. Gomez and Abrams passionately credit the legendary musicians Linda Ronstadt and Tracy Chapman for blazing the trails that provided them their motivation for their work.
