Main official trailer for Alexandria Bombach’s doc Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All, on YouTube:
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. Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All is directed by the acclaimed American doc producer / editor / filmmaker Alexandria Bombach, director of the doc films Frame by Frame and On Her Shoulders previously. It’s produced by Jess Devaney, Kathlyn Horan, and Anya Rous. This first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival last year. Oscope Labs will debut It’s Only Life After All in select US theaters on March 29th, 2024. Visit their official site.
