The Ballad of Shirley Collins

After the award-winning documentary 'Way of the Morris', Rob Curry and Tim Plester come back again with a biographical movie of the life and work of english folk music icon Shirley Collins. With Shirley Collins as herself 'The Ballad of Shirley Collins' combines how Shirley lost her voice for more than 30 years because of a vocal disorder, the exploration of the influences that helped her story and the story about the battle to rise again from silent ashes.
