The Movie: So effective is this documentary that it's nearly impossible to maintain critical objectivity and not get fired up with righteous indignation as directors Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck follow country-pop superstars the Dixie Chicks through the absurdly hostile response (see, there we go...) to, and career fallout from, an anti-Bush comment made by lead singer Natalie Maines during a London concert on the eve of the Iraq War. You needn't be a fan of the Chicks (though it couldn't hurt; their music is featured prominently throughout) to be absorbed in the drama of the boycotts, protests, and threats that followed the remark, or to appreciate the group's unity and resolve throughout. And even in ordinary circumstances, the Dixie Chicks, as it turns out, are pretty interesting subjects — the salty and outspoken Maines is balanced by gentle sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, and the three together are like the girls in school who always knew how to get in the best kind of trouble.

The Disc: The only extra is a trailer, but like the all the best documentaries, the film more than speaks for itself.
