LITTLE GIRL BLUE

Janis: Little Girl Blue is a poignant and deeply personal documentary that explores the life and legacy of Janis Joplin. Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Amy J. Berg, the film offers an intimate look at the woman behind the powerful voice which defined a generation.

Through never-before-seen footage, personal letters, and interviews with those who knew her best, the documentary, narrated by musician Cat Power, paints a complex portrait of Janis’ journey from a Texas misfit to becoming one of the most influential figures in music history.

The New York Times called Janis: Little Girl Blue an “enthralling film,” matching the excitement of Variety who wrote of the film “the satisfying feature-length overview that Joplin’s brief, fiercely brilliant career has long merited.”
