Trailer Synopsis Cast

She has been compared to everyone from Johnny Cash to Bruce Springsteen. A music critic famously wrote of her “What if Bob Dylan had been born a Canadian lesbian?” She once hired an unknown songwriter named Tori Amos as a backup singer, and she has been cited as an influence by everyone from Ani diFranco to the Indigo Girls. We are, of course, speaking of Ferron. No last name needed - just Ferron. And a guitar. In this remarkably intimate documentary, Gerry Rogers (My Left Breast) chronicles the return of the folk legend as she picks up the pieces after a ten year absence from music.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
