There have been documentaries about all manner of rock ‘n’ roll figures, and at this year’s Sundance Film Festival alone there’s two. Alongside telling the story of Little Richard, Sundance unveiled director Alexandria Bombach’s tribute to the Indigo Girls, “It’s Only Life After All.” The documentary aims to break down the success of the popular folk rock duo and how they broke ground being out about their sexuality.

Emily Saliers and Amy Ray, the Indigo Girls, stopped by TheWrap’s Portrait and Video Studio at The Music Lodge alongside the documentary’s director, Bombach, to discuss the film.

The band came to prominence in the late-1980s, releasing nine studio albums between 1988 to 2007. They’ve become icons of the LGBTQ movement for their unwillingness to hide their sexuality, as well as being staunch activists for the environment and Native American rights.

“There weren’t a lot of openly queer artists, gay artists,” Saliers told TheWrap during an interview at Sundance with editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman. Because of this, the duo was hard to promote. “We were the lesbian band,” Saliers said. “We didn’t really have an image that anyone could market. We just were ourselves.”
