Dixie Chicks take on George Bush in riveting documentary

There was a time when insulting George Bush in the US was deemed unpatriotic, and the Dixie Chicks paid the price for an anti-war remark when their records were rubbished and their music was banned by radio stations.

Dixie Chicks Shut Up & Sing (Momentum, €24.99) traces the rise, fall and rise again of the band over three years, showing how they kept their sanity, got on with their lives and still managed to keep the music going.

Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck reveal a dynamic story about three women who stood by their convictions.
