Betty Blowtorch and Her Amazing True Life Adventures

Jun 11 2003 Not Rated 1h 38m
Documentary, Drama, Music

For two years, filmmaker and music video director Anthony Scarpa followed the all-girl punk rock band Betty Blowtorch, documenting their ferocious sound and dangerously low-tech pyrotechnic shows, unaware of the turmoil and tragedy that he will ultimately capture. From their near rise to the top of the major labels, to their ultimate sad end, this critically-acclaimed rock n roll tragedy features the band Betty Blowtorch, as well as other rockers such as Duff McKagan (Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver), Vanilla Ice, Dez Cadena (Black Flag), Jennifer Finch (L7), Kevin Baldes (LiT), and many others.

Plot

"I originally set out to make a rock and roll movie. The kind of thing you saw in the seventies, before MTV over exposed our rock stars with manufactured images and CGI stunts. I never realized the depth of the story that was about to unfold or the tragic way it would end." -- Director, Antonia Scarpa
