Shania Twain: Up and Away

The remarkable achievement and undaunted spirit of Shania Twain, the best-selling country woman artist in history, despite controversy over her First Peoples' roots and suggestive, midriff-baring videos. Raised poor in a First Peoples' family in a northern Canadian mining town, she supported her siblings after her parents' deaths by singing in a cabaret, where she was discovered by Mercury Records. Her career languished until she met fabled producer Mutt Lange, who encouraged her to record her own songs and proposed marriage. With steadfast integrity, they revolutionized the spirit of country music, crossing genres from country to pop and rock and forging new possibilities for country women artists.
