- Synopsis:
When Nirvana burst onto the scene in 1991, grunge music took over MTV and radio overnight... but just three years later, the drug-related deaths of several musicians and the suicide of Kurt Cobain closed the books on an all too brief era. Patty Schemel, the openly gay drummer for Courtney Love's seminal rock band Hole, was in the middle of all of it. Given a video camera just before Hole's infamous 'Live Through This' world tour, Patty filmed everything; the highs, the lows, the parties, the shows, and startlingly intimate footage of Kurt and Courtney. This footage has never been seen... until now. Directed by P. David Ebersole, 'Hit So Hard' is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, Patty's recovery and redemption. Featuring live and recorded music from Hole, 'Hit So Hard' is an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation. - Actors:
