SAD VACATION is the latest
documentary film by Danny Garcia ("The Rise and Fall of The
Clash"/"Looking for Johnny"), which explores Sid and Nancy's fateful
trip to New York in 1978. It is a film that is dedicated to presenting
the real facts; told as it happened by their friends and those who
witnessed it. A film about the dynamics of Sid and Nancy's tumultuous
relationship, and how it all ended in Room 100 of the Chelsea Hotel.
SAD VACATION includes
interviews with Roberta Bayley, Steve "Roadent" Conolly, Donna Destri,
Kenny "Stinker" Gordon, Bob Gruen, John Holmstrom, Hellin Killer, Walter
Lure, Honest John Plain, Howie Pyro, Cynthia Ross, Andy Shernoff, Gaye
Black, Casino Steel, Phyllis Stein, Sylvain Sylvain; in addition to the
late Leee Black Childers and three key residents of the Chelsea Hotel,
Victor Colicchio, "Neon" Leon Matthews, and Ned Van Zandt, who had a lot
to say about the events that took place on October 12th 1978. Drawing
upon their reflections and a batch of newly-released Grand Jury
documents, "Sad Vacation" presents a solid timeline of events for the
very first time.
Narrated by Huey Morgan (Fun Lovin' Criminals), SAD VACATION contains unseen photography of Sid and Nancy and music from The Heartbreakers, The Boys, The Members, Neon Leon, Pure Hell, Sami Yaffa, Luigi & The Wiseguys, Skafish, Corazones Muertos, The PrimaDonna Reeds, Supla, Silke Berlinn & The Addictions and Sid Vicious himself.
