A deeply affecting documentary that chronicles the coming out of Nashville singer Chely Wright, and the anguishing criticism she faces from conservative country and western fans.

Ultimately too concerned with courting the singer's fans to deliver anything more than a theatrical release of a very special episode of VH1's Behind the Music.

Much like the image of Wright presented by the movie itself, "Wish Me Away" is graceful, sincere and heartfelt.

[T]he movie’s heart is the moments that take place in private....Wright’s self-shot video diaries chart her turbulent mood swings as the clock ticks down, showing a palpable fear at odds with her confident stage persona.

'Wish Me Away' is not just another doc on coming out; it's a unique story from a brave woman whose truth was more important than fame and glamour.
