Heart lead vocalist Ann Wilson is getting a documentary, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal, as the singer-songwriter will be pulling back the curtain on her life with In My Voice.
“The most important lesson I’ve learned along the long and winding road, to thine own self be true,” Wilson says in a teaser for the film shared Thursday.
Wilson, 75, is one of the most iconic artists of her generation, the voice on hits like “Crazy On You,” “Barracuda” and “Magic Man” among others, and the creative force behind Heart alongside sister Nancy Wilson. Together, they forged one of the most formidable duos in rock from the ’70s onward, breaking through as one of the few female-fronted heavy rock groups of the time in a genre that was almost entirely dominated by men. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
“This film is my story in my own words, told the way I’ve always wanted to tell it,” Wilson said in a statement Thursday. “It’s about finding my voice, keeping it alive, and sharing the journey with the people who’ve been part of it all along.”
Per the documentary’s announcement, the film draws from a “personal archive of home movies, photographs, journals, and never-before-seen footage.” Along with Wilson herself, In My Voice will feature additional commentary from unspecified friends, family members, music executives, and fellow bandmates. So far, no details have been shared on when the film will release. The Wilson doc is the latest in a surge of music documentaries to surface this year, as more artists and companies are leaning into the format to tell their stories on their own terms.
The documentary is being directed by Emmy-nominated director and producer Barbara Hall, whose credits include specials on fellow music legends like Patsy Cline and Charley Pride among others.
“What an honor to tell the story of one of our greatest rock music voices of all time,” Hall said in a statement. “Her voice notwithstanding, her story exceeds a scriptwriter’s imagination, and her courage to share her story is inspiring. She is a master of her craft and is not defined by genre or gender.”
