In 2007 British popstar Kate Nash rose to fast and short-lived international fame with her hit song Foundations. Not long after, she began to experiment with more unconventional songs, exploring artistic norms and boundaries. But instead of receiving continued success, she was quickly dropped from her record label. Twelve years after reaching number one on the UK charts, Kate Nash is out to reclaim and reinvent herself as an artist. With courage and vulnerability, she grapples with the changing world of music. The cut-throat industry has always been grueling, but with the streaming services and social media of today, making it as an artist has become even more difficult… especially when your manager is caught stealing all of your money. Ripe with failures, fears, and frustrations, KATE NASH: UNDERESTIMATE THE GIRL is not just a portrait documentary, but also an unflinching and personal look into the costs of fame and the exhaustive process of keeping it. —G.S.
