on stage at a 30th-anniversary concert for Bob Dylan. “I’m real proud to introduce this next artist,” he declared. “An artist synonymous with courage and integrity.” She walked slowly onto the stage as the crowd erupted into an overwhelming and jarring concoction of cheers and boos.
For director Kathryn Ferguson, who we caught up with after the film’s EU premiere at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen, O’Connor represented positivity growing up. “I was a bonafide fan,” she says. “I loved everything about her, what she stood for, how she looked, her lyrics, her boldness and what she meant to a young girl growing up in 80s and 90s Belfast.
The film explores just how deep, and multifaceted O’Connor’s experience of trauma from childhood was, which made her journey to pop stardom an all the more difficult, and often perplexing, experience. “The reason I got into music was therapy,” she says. “Which is why it was such a shock for me to become a pop star. It’s not what I wanted. I just wanted to scream.”
O’Connor’s steadfast conviction in her beliefs, and the often-callous landscape that she had to fight against, came with huge costs for her, both professionally and personally, and Ferguson got to see this up close. “She has never wavered,” she says. “We’ve watched hundreds of hours of footage and she’s one of the most consistent humans that I’ve ever come across. She’s rock solid.
