Known For
The rise to fame (and the near-fatal fall from it) of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love's seminal rock band, Hole. Given a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole's infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty captured stunningly intimate footage of the scene that has never been seen... until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.
Hit So Hard
Hole performs in the short film "Miss World" from the album "Live Through This." The short begins with Courtney Love singing as she is putting powder and lipstick on. The band performs on stage as Love accepts a crown and flowers.
