The comedy legend single-handedly tackles the London theatre scene, hecklers in one-horse towns, and reality TV to claw her way back to the top.

Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's (The Devil Came on Horseback) compelling new documentary chronicles a year in the life of irreverent comedy legend Joan Rivers. A smash hit at the Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals, this is documentary filmmaking at its peak. At no point do the filmmakers or subject hide behind the façade of celebrity; instead, Rivers' candid nature reveals what we might have suspected all along - that not only is she damn funny and utterly fearless, but she is quite possibly the hardest working lady in showbiz.
