Hit So Hard is the story of the drummer Patty Schemel, whose fame in the legendary band Hole was somewhat eclipsed by the loud-mouthed Courtney Love. The film combines new interviews with footage that Schemel shot when she was with the band. This unique documentary shows a side of Hole never before seen. And as a bonus, Patty Schemel is attending the Sunday 25 March screening.
