Freebird

A Rock and Roll Road Movie Comedy set in Wales

Suzie Silver directs and performs all the roles in this raucous and hilarious music video rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Freebird, the infamous southern rock anthem for an entire generation of 1970s male youth. In this spoof of straight mass culture, Silver flips ironically between roles; from a lesbian proudly proclaiming her sexuality at the Academy Awards, to an in-concert Coors-drinking Ronnie Van Zant, and, finally, to a black-lace lesbian lounge swinger celebrating the wild, colorful world of “out” visibility. Silver draws upon an amazing array of found footage and special effects to bend genders and genres with spectacular visual delight.

See classic live performances, interviews and vintage footage of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band.

We take you back to the roots of the southern rockers that bought you Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird, exploring the factors that helped create some of the best loved music of all time. From riding high on their burgeoning success, to the disastrous plane crash that nearly ended the band, this is a fascinating story waiting to be told. 30 years on from that terrible tragedy, join us on the ultimate exploration of the life and continuing legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd!
