Official Announcement | Published: Apr 21, 2026 1:38 PM EDT

(Beachwood Entertainment Collective) Following its critically acclaimed debut at the Tribeca Film Festival the feature-length documentary Linda Perry: Let It Die Here, directed by Don Hardy, will be debut in theaters in New York on May 8 and Los Angeles May 13, along with Denver on June 5 and London June 21, with additional cities to be announced.

The film was met with widespread praise following its premiere in Tribeca. Rolling Stone hailed it as "the rawest, most revealing music documentary in years," while Billboard called the film "riveting," noting that it captures an artist with "plenty left to say."

The Wrap praised the documentary for revealing "hidden truths" and highlighted Perry's "vulnerability." Select screenings will feature a Q&A session and live performance from Linda Perry.

Linda Perry: Let It Die Here chronicles the life and career of the GRAMMY and Golden Globe nominated songwriter, producer, and 4 Non Blondes front woman. Iconic in the nineties for the era-defining hit "What's Up", Linda Perry has spent the past three decades reinventing herself as one of pop music's most prolific behind the scenes hitmakers. Her songwriting and production credits include Dolly Parton, Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani, The Chicks, Ariana Grande, Weezer, and more.

Beyond the scope of her career, Let It Die Here is an exploration of identity, vulnerability, and creativity. Filmed over several years, the documentary captures Perry as she confronts personal change and a crossroads in her career. The film features unprecedented access to Perry's creative process, along with new performances and candid interviews with close friends, collaborators, and family, including Dolly Parton, Christina Aguilera, Brandi Carlile, Sara Gilbert, and Kate Hudson.

Reflecting on the film, Linda Perry said: "I had no intention of making a documentary. Maybe that's why it's so raw and emotional. If I knew I was making one I probably would have tried to control the narrative. Don Hardy captured an extremely intimate time in my life and I am so grateful he did. Though this film is about me, through his lens, I learned so much."

Director Don Hardy adds: "Linda didn't let me make a film about her legend-she let me make a film about her truth. What you see is someone at a profound crossroads, questioning everything while creating fearlessly. That tension between vulnerability and power is what makes Linda who she is, and it's what makes this story so urgent to tell. I'm honored she trusted me with this moment in her life."

The film's release also coincides with a renewed level of attention around 4 Non Blondes' 1993 single "What's Up". On the heels of a successful reunion in 2025, the song went viral on TikTok with the "What's UP / Beez In The Trap" mashup, reaching number 1 on the platform's trending song charts and generating more than three million user created videos. As a result, the band performed the song on 2026 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, decades after its original release. Linda Perry's first solo album in 25+ years, also titled 'Let It Die Here,' will be released on May 8, 2026.
