Factory 25, a Brooklyn-based independent film distribution company was founded in 2009 by Matt Grady. F25 is a home for conceptually provocative narratives and documentaries. Its mission is to deliver specialized film and music titles in an aesthetically captivating way while exposing the indie world to under-the-radar films, music, and other curiosities in various ways and formats — theatrically, digitally, on TV, VOD, via subscription, limited edition DVDs,  Blu-ray's, books and vinyl. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

In 2025, The Gits returns with a 20th Anniversary Edition, reigniting the powerful legacy of one of punk rock’s most urgent and underrecognized bands. This gripping documentary traces the meteoric rise of The Gits and their magnetic frontwoman, Mia Zapata — whose fearless voice and raw presence left an indelible mark on the Seattle music scene before her life was tragically cut short in 1993.

Featuring electrifying live performances, rare archival footage, and candid interviews with bandmates, peers, and friends like Joan Jett, Kathleen Hanna, members of 7 Year Bitch and more, The Gits delivers an intimate and unflinching portrait of a band whose sound captured both ferocity and vulnerability. Rather than framing Zapata solely as a tragic figure, the film celebrates her as a visionary artist whose voice still resonates more than three decades later.

With amplified visuals, rare audio, and a renewed urgency in its message, The Gits is more than a documentary — it’s a timeless testament to artistic legacy, community, and resilience.

Viva Zapata!

"Whether you ever remember rockin out to Second Skin or really any of their songs, Mia's voice was incredible, and should live on until then end of time. There's plenty here from members of the band and community, maybe a little more information on Mia's tragic fate. than what you've come to know in this excellent doc."

Ben. Z. (5/5)

Great tribute to a talent gone too soon

"Movies like this have one job to do. To introduce great talents to a wider audience. It worked for me. The band is great, Mia is magnificent, and I'm glad to know them finally. A celebration of a life instead of the details of a death, as it should be. If not getting the movie, at least check out the music. They are a band worth knowing. Recommended."

Ed K. (5/5)
