Product Description
The Gits helped spearhead Seattle's emerging musical underground in the early 1990s. Their sound was proto-grunge and all out punk aggression, and the earnest, blues wail of front woman Mia Zapata was its center. At the height of the band's popularity, Mia was found raped and murdered. Over a decade later, the case file would be reopened and a suspect brought to justice, as cameras rolled. This DVD features live footage of The Gits, Evil Stig with Joan Jett and 7 Year Bitch. Includes interviews with Joan Jett, Kathleen Hanna, Valerie Agnew, Selene Vigil, members of the DC Beggars, and The Gits. Bonus features include audio commentary, featurette, stills gallery, trailers, deleted scenes, and more.

A Must See Movie August 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a must see and own video to go along side the classics like Woodstock, the Doors, Janis and Hendrix. Although not well known to the rest of America, its obvious that the Gits were up and coming and would have made it big. With a twist of fate that not even Hollywood could have thought up, their dreams, but worse than that Mia's life, was cut short and her band, family and friends worlds changed in a matter of minutes.
Many great live concert shots, stories and music to enjoy. Get it, watch it and wonder what would have been and what WE missed out on.
Wonderful documentary! August 7, 2008

This is a great documentary of the life of Mia Zapata. She was an incredible singer/lyricist whose life was cut short. This movie is a great tribute to her life.
 Great movie whether or not you like punk July 21, 2008
I don't dislike punk but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan either. I hadn't heard of the Gits until a neighbor gave me The Gits DVD to watch. It's a great documentary! The story is well done and gives any music fan some amazing insight into early '90s music scene in Seattle. The soulful voice of Mia and the passion from the rest of the band helps tell the sad story of the band's rise and ultimate fall with the tragic death of Mia.
I will say now that I'm a fan of The Gits!
I'd highly recommend this movie for music fans of any genre and movie fans who enjoy a well told true story.
VIVA ZAPATA ! July 15, 2008
I got into the Gits first when I picked up Evil Stig (the Gits fronted by Joan Jett as a fund raiser to find Mia's killer) for a dollar. I dug the music and I dug the lyrics -- So, I decided to see what Mia sounded like! All I can say is - incredible ! I'm so glad this documentary came out because I always wondered about their story, where they came from, who they are etc etc. And finally, a DVD about them came out ! And it is just fantastic ! Rare footage, interviews and the killer brought to justice. This DVD is so moving ! I recommend it BIGTIME! Mia, you are missed!
VIVA ZAPATA!
Amazing. July 9, 2008
Saw the first screening of this movie in New York on July 4th. All you need is a general interest in music to appreciate how great this movie is, how amazing The Gits are, and how special Mia Zapata was. This movie is about the relationship the members of the Gits had with each other and the relationship they had with their community. Everyone who sees this film with not be able to forget the Gits.
