The Dixie Chicks rocked the charts with their infectious energy, musicality and overall charm and then they rocked the world with a controversial political stance, alienating their fan-base and forcing them into a very different kind of spotlight. This DVD follows the top selling female band of all-time, the Dixie Chicks, in the wake of singer Natalie Maines' anti-Bush statement at a 2003 concert from the ensuing backlash to the band's triumphant return to the top of the charts. SHUT UP & SING chronicles the eye-opening and unexpected consequences of singer Natalie Maines' anti-Bush statements at a 2003 concert. On the short list of documentaries under consideration for an Academy Award® nomination, the film was directed by two-time Oscar®-winner Barbara Kopple (Best Feature Documentary: Harlan County, U.S.A, 1977 and American Dream, 1991) and Cecilia Peck. SHUT UP & SING is a "hell raising, soul stirring and utterly fascinating musical movie [that] is bound to have you whistling DIXIE on the way out". The SHUT UP & SING DVD will have a Q & A with the filmmakers and audio commentary with Kopple, Peck and the Dixie Chicks.
