For Those About to Rock is a documentary that features the story of Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero, two Mexicans who decided to take the risk to pursue their dreams to live from what they loved the most: music. The combination of their adventurous spirits, a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, took them from performing at anonymous hotels and restaurants in Ixtapa, in their native Mexico, to -just a few years afterwards-, playing their acoustic guitars on the stages of the most important venues and festivals around the world. For Those About to Rock narrates their amazing and inspiring journey, which teaches its viewers that is possible to live one’s wildest dreams.

This story teaches us that innocence can lead to errors that are paid with years of exile from society. Twelve brave women whose love, deception, ignorance and fear, could not avoid their sentence, talk about their lives. They show us how is their life inside, their motivation to keep going, how they adapt to survive the terrors they live as women, how fragile freedom can be, and how hard it is to continue with their lives once they are once again set free to live outside.
