Kittie: Origins/Evolutions

2018 • 94 minutes

About this movie

Thrust into heavy metal stardom as teenagers with their debut release, the all-female Kittie has thrashed the heavy metal world for more than twenty years. With six albums, over two million in sales and OzzFest co-headliners on their resume, Kittie has defied industry norms, fought back against “women in rock” stereotypes, and inspired a generation of rockers around the globe. Now for the first time, they are sharing their untold story about the importance of family, perseverance, and the upside-down hurricane of rock ‘n roll that includes a rotating line-up of bandmates, on-going lawsuits and the pressure to live up to the expectations that put them on the map. Generously peppered with archival footage shot by the band, this film gives you an honest and brutal look at what it takes to survive in the music industry and the price of following your dreams.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing story & journey. You have the Cavalera brothers & than you have Morgan & Mercedes Lander, incredible what these women have done for metal. The rest of the current & past members also. This was a great watch & I'm happy to own it. I'm a long time fan & when I realized SPIT was 20 years old I had to start running through their catalog again. As an adult I'm rediscovering some great material. Thank you Kittie I hope we get another album & you hit Seattle one more time so I can catch the magic LIVE!!

Really made me respect these girls even more. Powerful struggles since they were 16 years old. Grew up to be a hell of a band. Love this documentary. That tease at the end by Morgan though!

Such a great band, wish they were still putting out new music and touring.
