WISH ME AWAY
“Wish Me Away” is the coming out story of country singer Chely Wright,
who seemed to have it all- Academy of Country Music Awards, #1 singles, popular music videos, and a high-profile relationship with superstar Brad Paisley. What she also had was guilt and fear as she hid her true self from her fans and music industry associates.
Wish Me Away is a personal and intimate look at Wright, the first country music star to come out as gay. Chronicling the singer for two years prior to her national coming out on “The Today Show,” the film portrays Wright as she deals with writing an autobiography, recording a new album, seeking spiritual guidance, and deciding if she was ready to let everyone know what she had been hiding for so many years. Some of the most intense scenes in the film are of Wright's own video diary, where tears are shed, worries are shared, and secrets are spilled. With Wright's songs filling the soundtrack, Wish Me Away plays a sweet melody.
