Directed by Alexandria Bombach
Starring Amy Ray, Emily Saliers
With forty years 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, 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 verité.
