THE EXPERIENCE

The Indigo Girls have been producing game-changing queer folk-rock for the past 40 years. Celebrate the outstanding legacy of the band and the women behind it with this exciting new documentary. Local songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Anna Diem will perform an acoustic set of originals and Indigo Girls songs before the film.

ON SCREEN: Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All

2023. Directed by Alexandria Bombach. Runtime: 123 minutes. Not rated.

With four decades of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, long before an awakening Barbie belted out their 1989 hit “Closer to Fine” in last year’s feminist blockbuster, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia, and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor, and heart-warming earnestness, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily—alongside decades of the band’s home movies and intimate present-day vérité.

“The Indigo Girls make a far more intriguing subject for a music doc than most who’ve gotten the treatment in recent years.” —VARIETY

“An adoring opus… Brimming with previously unseen footage and refreshing frank interviews.” —INDIEWIRE

“The rare confessional rockumentary that envelops you like a soft blanket.” —THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
