EPA/PAUL BUCKThe doc directed by "Harlan County USA" director Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck follows the female country music trio over three years while the band was under fire for publicly criticizing George Bush in 2003. Kopple and Peck produced under their Cabin Creek Films shingle. "The Dixie Chicks paid a huge price for questioning the invasion of Iraq and daring to say what millions of people were thinking," Peck said. "Our film looks at the cost of standing up for what you believe in."Copyright 2006 by Monsters and Critics
