Wish Me Away is the story of Chely Wright, the first country music star to come
out as gay. Over three years, the filmmakers were given extraordinary access to
Chely's struggle and her unfolding plan to come out publicly. Using interviews
with Chely, her family, her pastor, and key players in Nashville interwoven with
Chely's intimate private video diaries, the film goes deep into her back story
as an established country music star and then forward as she steps into the
national spotlight to reveal her secret. Chronicling the aftermath in her
hometown of Nashville and within the larger LGBT community, Wish Me Away reveals
both the devastation of her own internalized homophobia and the transformational
power of living an authentic life. The film came out in limited theatrical release and this is the trailer for an upcoming digital & DVD release
