Belfast-born director Kathryn Ferguson has confirmed that the documentary about the late Irish star Sinead O’Connor will proceed with its scheduled release on July 29. The film, titled “Nothing Compares,” explores O’Connor’s rise to fame and the challenges she faced as a result of her protests. Ferguson made this decision after careful consideration following O’Connor’s recent passing at the age of 56. The documentary will be available on Sky Documentaries and Now.
Ferguson expressed her thoughts on Twitter, stating that the overwhelming reaction to the film and the love for O’Connor convinced her to move forward with the release. She believes that showcasing the documentary now is the right thing to do, allowing people to see O’Connor in all her glory and hear her side of the story. Ferguson also highlights the lack of opportunities O’Connor had to share her voice due to the media’s tendency to belittle her. “Nothing Compares” serves as a love letter to O’Connor, celebrating her radical and magical contributions. Ferguson, as an Irish woman herself, expresses her pride in being part of this project.
The documentary takes viewers through significant moments in O’Connor’s career in the late 80s and early 90s, examining them through a contemporary feminist lens. It features footage from music videos and concert performances, as well as previously unseen clips and a recent interview. Through the film, Ferguson hopes to remind audiences of O’Connor’s greatness and the impact she had on those who grew up in the 1990s.
Sinead O’Connor gained fame with her critically acclaimed albums, including “The Lion and the Cobra” (1987) and the Grammy-winning “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got.” Known for her strong political and social stances, O’Connor made headlines when she tore a picture of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live” as a protest against the Catholic Church in 1992. The documentary received praise and accolades, including the Best Feature Documentary award at the Irish Film & Television Awards.
“Nothing Compares” will be broadcast on Sky Documentaries at 9 PM and will be available on the subscription service Now. It will also be shown on Sky Showcase and Sky Arts. By sharing O’Connor’s story, this documentary aims to honor her legacy and inspire future generations.
