"Sick 'Em" is a raw and unflinching biopic that tells the life of Stefanie Sargent, the fierce and fearless lead guitarist of 7 Year B, one of the most influential bands to emerge from the Seattle music scene in the early '90s. From her early days as an outsider to her explosive rise in a genre still dominated by men, Stefanie’s journey was one of rebellion, artistry, and relentless pursuit of her dreams.
The film takes audiences behind the scenes of 7 Year B's formation, exploring Stefanie's bond with her bandmates and her struggle to define her identity, both on stage and off. Through her fiery performances and candid personality, Stefanie becomes a symbol for the unapologetic punk spirit—a woman who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, challenge norms, and pour her soul into her music.
As the band grapples with the trials of fame, addiction, and the pressures of a cutthroat industry, Stefanie's demons also come to the forefront. Her tragic death at 24 leaves a void in the music world, but her legacy endures through the impact of 7 Year B’s music, her unmatched talent, and the indelible mark she left on her peers.
