In 2003, the female country band, The Dixie Chicks, are at the top of their game being one of the most successful bands of all time. However with the US invasion of Iraq about to begin over frustrated worldwide objections about this needless war, one of the Chick vents off the cuff in concert about being ashamed of US President George W. Bush. This statement sparks a firestorm of organized and personal right wing attacks against the Chicks for daring to think they have the right to express a negative personal opinion about the President. This film covers the band's effort to ride out the turmoil that would leave their careers under a cloud, but would eventually give them a opportunity to grow as great artists who bow to no one. —Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

I had never listened to the Dixie Chicks before
because I don't much like country music.
I am a big fan of the first amendment, however, and have thrown a few $$$ set aside for my music budget towards the Chicks.
Whether you agree with what they said or not, it is an American value to speak your mind, and a greater American value to defend the rights of others who speak their minds as well. That value is never so brilliantly displayed as when used to defend those with whom you disagree.
God (and that's MY concept of God, not yours) bless the first amendment, and more power to the Dixie Chicks.
Watch this movie. Let it warm your heart, or set a fire in your mind. That's what truly free speech will do for you.
