What will Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All be about?
It’s Only Life After All will be an intimate glimpse into the life and forty-year-long career of one of the most iconic folk-rock bands in America, the Indigo Girls. The documentary will showcase unseen footage from Amy Ray and Emily Saliers’ lives, also narrating the story behind the band formation.
The duo has been tight since they met in elementary school, sharing an alike passion for music and eventually becoming a successful band.
However, their rise to the top was plagued with homophobia, misogyny, and societal standards for female pop stars. Sailers and Ray were among the rare musicians at that time who identified as queer individuals openly. Therefore, the aspect impacted their stardom negatively in terms of media coverage.
As shown in the trailer, Amy Ray can be heard saying that they never got featured in major rock outlets like Rolling Stone because they were “political lesbians.” There were glimpses of fans attributing the Indigo Girls for changing their lives and encouraging self-acceptance.
“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,” a part of the official synopsis for the documentary states.
Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All will be available to stream in the US on Netflix starting July 12, 2024.
