The film will premiere as a one-night event at 50 Cineplex theatres across Canada Dec. 2 and will be broadcast exclusively on CBC TV and CBC Gem on Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. (8:30 p.m. in NT).
The documentary takes “audiences on a personal and emotional journey showcasing in-depth interviews with Anne exploring her evolution as a ground-breaking, trailblazing female Canadian artist from the ‘60s and ‘70s to a global superstar, having sold more than 55 million albums in pop, country, and adult contemporary music over her 40-year career,” a press release says.
It includes never-before-seen-footage and interviews with artists, collaborators and colleagues including Shania Twain, Jann Arden and Gordon Lightfoot.
Anne Murray: Full Circle is produced by Network Entertainment in association with Universal Music Canada. It is directed by Morgan Elliott and Adrian Buitenhuis and produced by Network’s Lynn Fuhr, John Barbisan and Ardrian Buitenhuis. Executive producers include Derik Murray, Bruce Allen, Darlene Sawyer, Tim Gamble, Jesse James Miller as well as Universal Music Canada’s Jeffery Remedios, Dave Harris and Sam Sutherland.
“It’s a surreal and sometimes unnerving feeling to watch your life replay itself on screen, but I am honoured to have my story told by such a creative team,” said Anne Murray, in the press release.
“Seeing the old footage and hearing the words of my dear friends and collaborators takes me back to both the good times and the not so good ones. Throughout my career, the loyalty and support of my fans have been a constant. They were there with me every step of the way, even when others were not. I hope they enjoy this trip down memory lane.”
