“Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” “Time After Time.” “She Bop.” “True Colors” “I Drove All Night.” Even if you’re not into pop culture and music, you (probably) still know that these are Cyndi Lauper songs.
Soon you can know more about Cyndi Lauper from a new feature-length documentary that explores this renowned and pioneering artist, who has left a remarkable legacy with her art: Let the Canary Sing.
Directed by Emmy® Award-winning documentarian Alison Ellwood (The Go-Go’s, History of the Eagles), Let the Canary Sing chronicles Lauper’s meteoric ascent to stardom and her profound impact on generations through her music, her ever-evolving punk style, her unwavering feminism, and her tireless advocacy.
Said Lauper:
“Over the years I’ve been asked to do a documentary about my life and work, but it never felt like the right time. Until now. When I first met Alison Ellwood, I knew right away I could trust her to tell my story honestly, which was incredibly important to me, and she succeeded in that. I’d like to thank Alison, the producers, and all of the amazing documentary participants who agreed to be interviewed!”
