I saw this film at the Toronto film festival where it almost won fan favorite out of 350 films.It played well to an audience of Canadains and film critics. This film is a testament to the trust that was gained by these brilliant documentarians.The Dixie Chicks are shown warts and all.They are shown as wives and moms and musicians and for a large part of the film as puzzled women who didn't get what all the fuss was about.They were blacklisted for making a mildly inflammatory statement that touched a nerve in the USA.The rest of the world will never understand the witch hunt that was so strong their one million dollar donation was turned down by the American Red Cross.
The film works because all these characters are so charismatic and funny.There are also touching moving scenes.Another aspect of the film my husband particularly liked was the showing of the process used to finish their new CD.The music is great.This film is well worth seeing.
