Follow My Voice: With the Music of Hedwig
Katherine Linton/100min/USA/2006

One record producer, the creators of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and top indie rock artists come together to create a tribute album benefiting the Harvey Milk School - the first accredited high school in the United States for LGBTQ youth. Follow My Voice: With the Music of Hedwig weaves the compelling, courageous stories of four students at this controversial school, with a unique chronicle of the yearlong creation of "Wig in a Box," an album whose songs poignantly echo these teens' struggles and aspirations. Through a dramatic and vibrant combination of cinema verité documentation, student video diaries and rare in-studio scenes of artists such as Yoko Ono, Rufus Wainwright, The Bens, The Breeders, Yo La Tengo, John Cameron Mitchell, They Might Be Giants, Cyndi Lauper and the Polyphonic Spree, Follow My Voice offers a powerful and inspirational look at this unlikely intersection of youth, gender and rock.
