F*CK FAME sheds light on the underground feminist HipHop movement in Mexico through the lens of an all femme hiphop collective crew called Batallones Femeninos. This documentary also includes their latest single “Éxodus,” a song in solidarity with all those that have continuously risked their lives migrating in hopes of a better future and that visibilices continuous forced migration, deportation and all those that lost their lives in the process.

Batallones Femeninos is an underground autonomous, activist, feminist Hip-Hop collective crew that started in 2009, in what is now known as the borderland of Mexico/United States in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuhua, Mexico. Through the element of rap, their voices are amplified on the rhythm of strength and union to denounce feminicide narco-states, murders, disappearances, migration, campaigns that have decided the rights over our bodies, and freedom to all political prisoners in the world. They have dedicated a large part of their lives to each performance over the past 15 years. Today, they move forward in solidarity with social movements and are clear that their goal is not for fame, but to create music for those who have been silenced. They are mujerxs, migrants, anti-colonial, anti-fascist, feminists, two-spirited, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, autonomous, activists, artisans, educators that practice critical consciousness and Hip-Hoopas.
