Worldwide rights to Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck's "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing" has been acquired by The Weinstein Company reports IndieWire.

Debuting at the Toronto Film Festival, the film follows the female country music trio's ollercoaster three-year experience from popularity to pariah status in the wake of brief critical comments about George W. Bush on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
