Synopsis

"Grit and Grace" chronicles the life of Mia Zapata, a force of nature whose raw talent and fierce spirit propelled her from the underground punk scene to the brink of stardom. As the lead singer of The Gits, Mia's electrifying performances and soulful lyrics captivated audiences and garnered critical acclaim. But Mia was more than just a rock star—she was a voice for the voiceless, unafraid to speak out against societal injustices and advocate for change. The film delves into Mia's formative years, tracing her journey from a small town in Kentucky to the bustling streets of Seattle, where she found her tribe among the city's burgeoning punk community. Alongside bandmates Joe Spleen, Matt Dresdner, and Steve Moriarty, Mia forged a bond that transcended music, forming a tight-knit family united by their passion for rebellion and authenticity. As The Gits' star began to rise, so too did the challenges they faced. From navigating the male-dominated music industry to confronting violence and misogyny, Mia and her bandmates refused to back down, using their platform to shine a spotlight on the issues that plagued their community.
