Review of Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing (2006) by Tom L — 27 Oct 2015
You may recall the trouble the Dixie Chicks got themselves into, at the very beginnings of the Iraq war, when they denounced the war and proclaimed that they were embarrassed George Bush came from their home state of Texas.
From the demonstrations, to the boycotts, to the death threats, and even to hearings before congress, through 3 years of personal, political, and musical transformation that the Dixie Chicks went through, it was all captured on film.
While Shut Up & Sing is not a perfect documentary, it is moving and retrospective, and is worth a revisit back to 2003, back to when America went to into a war that the majority of Americans wanted at the time, and which we now, as a country, look back on with regrets.
From it's beginning, there they were, the Dixie Chicks, speaking out, practicing their right of free speech, and paying the price because of it. This documentary leaves you with profound respect for these amazingly talented artists.
