[2] When the club opened, it became a hub for a diverse population of performers, including Sylvester, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Janet Jackson, Donna Summer, Whoopi Goldberg, Rick James, and Madonna.

A documentary about the nightclub, Jewel's Catch One, directed by C. Fitz, started shooting in April 2010 and was finished in June 2016.

Jewel’s Catch One covers four decades of Los Angeles history honoring the music, fashion, celebrities, and activism.

Variety Magazine called the film “an undeniably loving documentary tribute by director C. Fitz to the club and its longtime owner Jewel.”[10] In the film, through exclusive interviews and performances from Thelma Houston, Sharon Stone, Maxine Waters, Jenifer Lewis, Bonnie Pointer, Thea Austin, and Sandra Bernhard, plus rare archival footage of Madonna at the club, director C. Fitz documents how the club grew to be known as the unofficial Studio 54 of the west coast, except everyone was allowed in without judgement.

The film culminates with Jewel and her Catch community becoming a national model of how to fight discrimination and serve the less fortunate.

The feature documentary was named one of the best LGBTQ films to watch on Netflix of all time by Logo TV’s NEWNOWNEXT in 2018.

The film covers the Catch One family battling tirelessly against racism, homophobia, and hate for over forty-two years to keep the club doors open to everyone through its closing in 2015.
