With 40 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 heartwarming 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. DIR/PROD Alexandria Bombach; PROD Kathlyn Horan, Jess Devaney, Anya Rous. U.S., color, 123 min. NOT RATED
