Suzi Q is the definitive, unexpurgated story of the girl from Detroit City who redefined the role and image of women in rock’n’roll when she broke through around the world in 1973.

With interviews featuring Alice Cooper, Joan Jett and Deborah Harry, Suzi Q is the definitive, unexpurgated story of the girl from Detroit City who redefined the role and image of women in rock’n’roll.

A string of incandescent rock hits like Can The Can were the vehicle for her explosion of gender stereotypes in rock ‘n’ roll, defying expectations of how women in music should look and behave.

Suzi Q explores the long simmering family tensions and sibling rivalries that result from the success of one family member over the ambition of its other talented members.

Having lived many years in Europe, Suzi returns to her homeland of Detroit, and reveals the price paid for success in a deeply personal exploration of fame, ambition and resilience.
