Description

The movie from two time Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple and Cecelia Peck that chronicles the lives of the Dixie Chicks from 2003 to the start of their 2006 tour.

It follows the Texas-based country music band while they were under fire after lead singer Natalie Maines publicly criticized the current President of the United States George W. Bush in a 2003 concert in London. Illustrating the day-to-day life of the Chicks, the films shows them with their husbands and their children, at home in Texas and in the recording studio in Los Angeles, getting their hair and makeup done before appearances, exchanging ribald remarks with each other, and writing song lyrics and working on musical arrangements.

All the highs, lows and mayhem that occurred just before and for the three years following "the incident" are all here. The personal attacks, personal growth, a changing world, making music, having babies, receiving death threats, and even a fair amount of laughter.
