Joan Jett on the upcoming documentary 'Bad Reputation': "It speaks to what’s happening now and what’s been happening"
'Bad Reputation,' a documentary about Joan Jett's life and career, arrives Sept. 28. Ahead of the release, Jett discusses the significance of the film in today's times.
Later this month, Magnolia Pictures will roll out the documentary 'Bad Reputation' which chronicles the Godmother of Punk, Joan Jett's prolific music career, especially focused on her career period with The Runaways and The Blackhearts.
Promising "a wild ride as Jett and her close friends tell you how it really was in the burgeoning ’70s punk scene," the film covers the harassment and misogyny Jett experienced early on in her career. And while it wasn’t specifically tied into the #MeToo movement, it arrives at a time when the discourse around women's empowerment and harassment is at a peak.
