Part of Doc Spotlight and Music City Mondays
With 40 years of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor and heart-warming earnestness, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily — alongside decades of the band’s home movies and intimate present-day verité.
“The Indigo Girls make a far more intriguing subject for a music doc than most who’ve gotten the treatment in recent years.”—Chris Willman, Variety “An adoring opus... Brimming with previously unseen footage and refreshing frank interviews.” —IndieWire “The rare confessional rockumentary that envelops you like a soft blanket.”—Hollywood Reporter
