One of the most critically and commercially successful word of mouth documentary hits in years, JOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK played and played for months in major cities around the country as audiences discovered the film and urged their friends to go see it. Directors Ricki Stern and Anne Sandburg (THE END OF AMERICA) follow a year in the life of the trailblazing comic, covering her entire career (from that early break on Carson to heartbreak over the suicide of her husband and manager to CELEBRITY APPRENTICE) and her relentless desire to keep working (and working) with humor, empathy and of course more humor. Wickedly funny and surprisingly moving, it returns Rivers to the spotlight she so richly deserves and cements her reputation as one of stand-ups towering figures.
