Stay after the film on September 18 for a live Q&A and acoustic session with Bif and guitarist Peter Karroll.
BIF NAKED is a raw and electrifying look at one of Canada’s most iconic and fearless artists. Born in India, adopted by American missionaries, and raised in Winnipeg, Bif carved her own path—rising through the male-dominated punk scene with her unmistakable voice, poetic lyrics, and defiant spirit.
Behind the tattoos and powerhouse performances is a survivor of cancer, addiction, and heartbreak, whose strength and vulnerability reshaped what it means to be a rock star. Through rare footage, intimate interviews, and unforgettable performances, this documentary celebrates a woman who’s never played by the rules—and never backed down.
