Description

“I did my best to follow the calling of my soul…”

So sings lesbian singer/songwriter Ferron, ‘Girl On A Road’.  The Road…that ubiquitous metaphor, the chronicler of journeys.  In the dynamic new film for Gerry Rogers (‘My Left Breast’, ‘Pleasant Street’), the road serves as both the metaphor for the directin of a life, and the literal narrative thread; tracing ferron’s reunion with her band and thir first concert trek together in over a decade.

Part performance film, part biopic, ‘Ferron: girl on a road’ traces the life, the songs, the loves, the heartbreaks anmd the  pioneering path carved by a true folk legend.  Intimate, and sweeping all at once, this film moves beyond ‘chronicle’ and captures in word and song, the essence of a visionary artist, and the soul of an icon.
