Kathryn Ferguson’s riveting portrait of Sinéad O’Connor charts the iconic singer’s phenomenal rise and subsequent exile from the pop mainstream.
The film focuses on a pivotal period in O’Connor’s life, from 1987 to 1993, when she achieved extraordinary success and fame but remained outspoken – both in what she said and the songs she wrote. Ferguson analyses O’Connor’s journey through a contemporary feminist lens, employing an impressive library of archive footage, as well as music videos that established the singer’s iconic status. She also documents O’Connor’s unwillingness to compromise in an industry that often demanded it. Alongside contributions from artists and musicians, O’Connor herself reflects on her journey and politics, which have frequently attracted the ire of the establishment.
