Christine McVie is undoubtedly the longest-serving female band member of any of the enduring rock ‘n’ roll acts that emerged from the 1960s. While she has never fronted Fleetwood Mac, preferring to align herself with ‘the boys’ in the rhythm section whom she first joined 50 years ago, Christine is their most successful singer-songwriter. Her hits include ‘Over My Head’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Everywhere’. After massive global success in both the late 1970s and mid-1980s, Christine left the band in the late 1990s, quitting California and living in semi-retirement in Kent, only to rejoin the band in 2013. In this 90-minute film, this most English of singers finally gets to take centre-stage and tell both her story and the saga of Fleetwood Mac from her point of view.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
McVie wrote 'Don't Stop' as a direct message to her collapsing marriage with John—then watched the Clintons use it as a campaign anthem.
This film arrived during the 2018-2019 Mac reunion tour, making it essentially a victory lap for McVie's return after her 2013 fear-of-flying breakthrough.
