IT'S ONLY LIFE AFTER ALL

Blending 40 years of home movies, raw film archive, and intimate present-day verité, a poignant reflection from the iconic folk rock duo Amy Ray and Emily Salier of the Indigo Girls, two queer friends who never expected to make it big.

With four decades of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy and Emily have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many – leading now 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, humour, and heart-warming moments, 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. The documentary offers a timely look into the obstacles, activism, and life lessons of the Indigo Girls.
