The Gits

In a pre-Nirvana Seattle, The Gits were the resident musical underdogs. With unparalleled vocal power of front woman Mia Zapata they set the bar for indie rock in the Pacific Northwest -- The Gits were anything but your typical street punk outfit. Because of this, the tragedy that struck in 1993 was that much harder to swallow. One part THE FILTH AND THE FURY, one part CSI: SEATTLE, THE GITS is a rock doc as engaging and powerful as the music that inspired it. (Calgary Film Festival)
