‘The Brooklyn Cowgirl’ – return of a country music star

Available for over a year

In the 1950s and 60s Mimi Roman had been a queen of country music, she was on TV, on the radio, she opened for Johnny Cash and toured the US but when she married and had a child she walked away from the spotlight and focused on being 'Mom'. She never spoke about her past. Fifty years later, when her daughter Eden was opening boxes in their house she started pulling out old demos, photos of Mimi with music icons like Elvis, and newspaper articles about her. Slowly the past was revealed and for the last two years, mother and daughter have been getting to know each other all over again.
