DESCRIPTION:The Gits (no, not the one that showed on teevee - this is the new one 
 opening this weekend around the country):\n\nThe rousing and heartbreaking 
 story of Seattle band The Gits, whose promising start was cut short by the 
 tragic murder of spirited lead singer Mia Zapata.\n\nRumored to have been 
 descended from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, the incredibly 
 magnetic frontwoman had a powerful, soulful voice that belied her inherent 
 shyness and distinguished The Gits from other punk bands of that 
 day.\n\nThis riveting documentary is part musical history and part murder 
 mystery, brimming with rare performance footage dating from their Antioch 
 College days through their subsequent move to Seattle just before the 
 world's ears suddenly tuned into the emerging Northwest music scene. The 
 Gits would become an integral and influential part of the milieu if largely 
 unsung in comparison to fellow Seattle bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. 
 But just as they were about to make it big, the band was dealt a mighty 
 blow with the sudden, violent loss of their friend and band member whose 
 lyrics eerily foreshadowed events to come.\n\nMia's murder became a 
 rallying point for the Seattle music scene, as the investigation ripped 
 through the community with devastating results, leaving many female 
 musicians feeling momentarily disempowered before turning their insecurity 
 into anger and into a statement that would resonate with women the world 
 over. A celebration of Mia's life as well as a comprehensive testament to 
 the band's greatness as a whole. The film's interviews reflect the enormous 
 respect and love Mia's peers had for her, and also the sadness over her 
 absence that still haunts them today.\n\n\n
