Synopsis

Joan Jett is known for her hit “I Love Rock n’ Roll,” which was a hit on radio and television for a long time. However, the artist is much more than that; her band The Runaways influenced many artists of younger generations. Bad Reputation shows the punk scene in the seventies through interviews and archival images in which a theme is clear: although audiences wanted to pigeonhole Joan Jett, she will remain faithful to her authenticity.
