Viewing Notes
Directed by Vicki Blue, one of a handful of girls who played bass in The Runaways, this is a pretty straightforward and honest retelling of the rise and fall of all-girl rockers The Runaways.
While there are no interviews with Joan Jett, the rest of the band is represented here, especially Lita Ford, who was given pretty short shrift in THE RUNAWAYS movie, in my opinion.
It’s absolutely amazing that the members of THE RUNAWAYS didn’t all end up dead in a ditch somewhere, considering everything they went through, and put themselves through.
