Amy Ray and Emily Saliers first met as high schoolers in Decatur, Georgia, and came together in their love for guitar playing and music. They both ended up at Emory University in Atlanta, where the Indigo Girls were born in the 1980s. After releasing singles and the album STRANGE FIRE independently, they had major label success with the self titled INDIGO GIRLS, containing their masterpiece song, “Closer to Fine” (used to great effect in last year’s “Barbie” movie). From there they have released 13 studios albums and four live albums, and have become ardent activists for many causes. The doc is directed by Alexandria Bombach.
