Two docs about hard music in hard times: Heavy Metal in Baghdad chronicles the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda, who refuse to let their musical dreams die even as their country disintegrates. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of a generation of young Iraqis. The Gits helped build the Seattle scene that made Nirvana a legend, but their success was cut short by the brutal murder of charismatic front woman Mia Zapata. Part musical history and part murder mystery, The Gits examines the devastating impact of Zapata?s murder on female musicians of Seattle and the world over.
