L7: Pretend We're Dead

This documentary follows the rise, struggles, breakup, and later redemption of a groundbreaking American grunge-punk band. Through archival footage and firsthand reflections, it explores life on the road, changing popularity, gender expectations, and the group’s lasting influence on female rock musicians.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like candid music documentaries, punk history, and feminist cultural stories such as The Punk Singer; Not for you if you dislike band retrospectives or grunge-punk music.
