‘Bad Reputation’: Director Kevin Kerslake says Joan Jett is 'feminist manifesto in the flesh'
Music video director and documentarian Kevin Kerslake has just released his newest film, the Joan Jett documentary ‘Bad Reputation’. Jett is not just one of the most iconic women in the music industry but she is also one of the biggest feminist icons of all time and had to go through great adversity to get to where she is today. Kerslake discussed what truly inspired him to make the film.
“The integrity that she has brought to her whole career in terms of making the music she wants to make and how she has powered through all sorts of adversity in her way was what really made me want to make this film. I think that Joan is sort of a feminist manifesto in the flesh. She does what she wants to do, speaks out for underdogs and people that have been less fortunate than her, and will go to the mat for every single one."
