Watch the Gits documentary online
The Gits, Kerri O'Kane's documentary about the life and murder of punk singer Mia Zapata, is streaming ad-free for two more days as part of Pitchfork Media's One Week Only series.
The film started at a time when Zapata's murder was still unsolved, through the course of production a suspect was apprehended, tried and convicted. O'Kane focuses the most attention on the Gits' creative process and the impact Zapata's death (specifically the investigation) had on the Seattle music scene in the mid-90s.
RIYL: The Times of Harvey Milk, Hype! (from which the film borrows live material), Kurt Cobain: About a Son, the Staircase.
hey Charles! It's good to hear from you.
