A film of passion, “The Art of Love and Struggle” 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.
