Where there's a Will, there's a way

Remember when Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines told an audience in England that she was ashamed George W. Bush is from Texas? The Dixie Chicks sure do! That's the subject of "Shut Up & Sing" by "Harlan County, USA" director Barbara Kopple. Its the second movie in the Liberty Brew & View double feature commemorating the International Day of Peace.

The movie website describes it...

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.

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.

This is a fun movie that will be interesting to anyone who cares about free speech, private-sector censorship, dissent during war, or likes the Dixie Chicks.

First in the double feature will be Meeting Resistance at 6:00pm. There will be a soon-to-be-announced speaker between the two movies.
