Incoming: Janis: Little Girl Blue

Oscar nominated Amy J. Berg (West of Memphis) presents a stunning, insightful portrait of the original “Rock Chick” Janis Joplin, a white girl with a ferocious, soulful voice who broke into the male dominated music scene but grappled with her inner demons and addictions. Produced by Oscar winner Alex Gibney and narrated by Chan Marshall (musician Cat Power) the film features wonderful archival footage alongside Janis’s personal correspondence and contemporary interviews.

Janis: Little Girl Blue is out in cinemas from Today.
