Country music star Chely Wright had a huge secret that seemed impossible to reveal to her family, friends, and fans. Raised in a deeply religious home and diligently working her way to fame in the homophobic country music industry, Chely prayed for years that her homosexuality would just go away. As her dreams of stardom came true, her reality could no longer be denied.
In 2010, Chely began an arduous but carefully mapped journey of coming out to the world. Over a three-year period, award-winning filmmakers Bobbie Birleffi and Beverly Kopf captured every moment of Chely’s struggle, from her most intimate moments of confession (including her own video diaries) to very public appearances in the mainstream media. Every touching and riveting moment is captured and crafted into this powerful and moving documentary that has left audiences cheering.
