Weinsteins Like Dixie Chicks
The Weinstein Company has obtained the worldwide distribution rights for politically charged documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing. Award winning documentarian Barbara Kopple (American Dream; Harlan County, U.S.A.) and Cecilia Peck created the movie, centering on the aftermath of Chicks singer Natalie Maines' infamous statement at a 2003 London concert: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." The film chronicles the death threats the band received, as well as political attacks, radio and sales boycotts. The story is tentatively scheduled to be released in the fall, possibly prior to the November elections.
