Dixie Chicks: Shut Up And Sing, the powerful ‘rockumentary’ directed by Academy Award winning film-maker Barbara Kopple and co-director Cecilia Peck, is set for rental and retail DVD release by Momentum Pictures on 3rd September 2007 - win DVDs!

When Dixie Chick Natalie Maines made her anti-Bush remark between songs at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire in 2003, little did she realise that her comment would prove so incendiary and have such a major impact on the career of North America’s best selling female band! Shut Up And Sing travels with the Dixie Chicks, from the peak of their popularity as the national anthem-singing darlings of country music and top-selling female recording artists of all time, through that now infamous comment about their fellow Texan made by their lead singer in 2003. The film follows the lives and careers of the Dixie Chicks over a period of three years. The US was poised to go to war in Iraq and Natalie’s off-the-cuff remark was soon widely reported as unpatriotic, putting the band into career freefall. Country radio stations boycotted them, right-leaning fans publicly binned their recordings and Natalie even received death threats. All this time, they were under the most intense political and personal attack, while continuing to live their lives, have children and, of course, make music...
