A film of passion, ³The Art of Love and Struggle² profiles twelve amazing
women. Artists, singers, emcees, activists, poets and writers who come
together in an explosive exploration of feminine creation. Independently
minded women with voices that must be heard, each lady brings to the screen
her innermost struggles, in an attempt to outline the obstacles that face
the female artist. Based in New York City, this journey is narrated by the
mystical Smokifantastic, and navigates the challenges of poverty, politics
and personal sacrifice. Exploring love, identity and urban culture, our film
dives deep into the underground movement of female artistry and features:
