For Moon Unit Zappa, daughter of musician Frank Zappa and his ‘manager’, Gail, life has always been utterly extraordinary.
Born into music royalty in 1967, Moon was a child star by age 14. But what are the consequences of growing up famous, in front of the camera and on stage, in a family who spend most of their time naked, practicing white magic in a free-for-all state of nonconformist, hippy abandon?
Earth to Moon is a darkly funny, unflinching exploration of celebrity culture, family relationships and the ghosts of the past: a powerful takedown of the rose-tinted popular myth of the 70s and 80s West Coast scene, from within the belly of the beast of the rock and roll world.
