DESCRIPTION:The Gits (no, not the one that showed on teevee - this is the new one 
 opening this weekend around the country).  This special Monday screening 
 takes place on the anniversary of Mia's death.\n\n7:00 PM - Admission: 
 $5.00\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
