About this product
Product Information
In 2003, female country group the Dixie Chicks ignited a maelstrom of controversy when, on the eve of the Iraq war, lead singer Natalie Maines publicly decried President George W. Bush, stating that she was ashamed he was from her home state of Texas. This was seen by many as an incendiary statement and caused a swift right-wing backlash. The band suddenly found themselves at the centre of a row over patriotism, freedom of speech, feminism, and the split between pro and anti-war Americans. It also raised concerns over politically-minded singers and actors who use their celebrity status as a platform for propaganda. SHUT UP AND SING (a tongue-in-cheek swipe at their detractors) is the next chapter in the Dixie Chicks saga; a fly-on-the-wall account of the bandÆs fall from grace and subsequent rise. Oscar-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple (AMERICAN DREAM, HARLAN COUNTY U.S.A.) captures Maines and her bandmate-sisters as they tour the U.S. and London between 2003 and 2006. ItÆs interesting to see how, despite their defiant liberal stance, the Chicks succeed in turning a PR disaster into a commercial triumph. The film is interspersed with footage of the band performing live on stage and in the studio, proving perhaps that the girls should stick to their day jobs and leave politics to the politicians.Product Identifiers

Why USA struggles to represent true democratic values!
The widely reported one liner by the outspoken lead singer of the band about the US President from Texas and the subsequent melt down suffered by the group as a USA right wing group exploited the statement at the time of the last Iraq conflict is the core story of this documentary. The film suffers from not enough investigation of what actually happened at the time and concentrates more on the subsequent fall out across the years. But the real stars are the three ladies whose gutsy spirit shines through as the endless media abuse and the loss of their C&W core audience is addressed while they have babies and grow back their fans support. What the documentary does best is show how events failed to break their spirit but leaves them instead a much stronger unit after Bush's errors start to lead to his downfall in US public opinion.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
