A documentary on the Gits will receive theatrical release on July 7, the 15th anniversary of murder of lead singer Mia Zapata.
"The Guts" has playdates in 21 cities and more may be added. New York, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Seattle and L.A. will have parties with band members and other people from various punk scenes.
Liberation Entertainment is releasing the film, which premiered at the SXSW Film festival in 2007, and DVD on July 8.
Her murder was unsolved when Kerry O’Kane began shooting her debut feature. In the interim, however, fans, friends and celebrities such as Joan Jett and Nirvana helped raise money to reopen the cold case. Mia’s death had reverberated throughout the music community, and Mia’s killer was brought to justice as the cameras rolled as the first case in Seattle solved by DNA samples.
