Janis: Little Girl Blue (region free DVD)

 Janis Joplin is one the most revered and iconic of all rock & roll singers, a tragic and misunderstood figure who thrilled millions of listeners and blazed new creative trails before her death in 1970 at age 27. Joplin's own words tell much of the film's story through a series of letters she wrote home over the years, many made public here for the first time (and read by Southern-born indie rock star / actor Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power). The documentary is written and directed by Amy Berg (Deliver Us From Evil, West of Memphis). This edition is loaded with fun-filled special features.
