'''''Protesting the Dixie Chicks''''' is a [[Documentary film|documentary]] by American filmmaker Christopher Fleeger, independently released on [[DVD]] in 2006. The film captures the storm of controversy ignited by the remarks of [[Natalie Maines]], lead singer of the [[Texas]] pop-country trio the [[Dixie Chicks]]. On March 10, 2003, Natalie Maines, at a concert in [[London]], stated that her group was "ashamed" to be from the same state as President [[George W. Bush]]. In the man-on-the-street style of ''[[Heavy Metal Parking Lot]]'', anonymous fans and protesters are interviewed outside the arenas of the Dixie Chicks 2003 USA tour, while the context of the drama is reenacted with toys and action figures of Natalie Maines, [[Toby Keith]], General [[John Abizaid]], Senator [[Richard Lugar]], Senator [[John McCain]] and President George W. Bush.
