"Wynonna Judd: Between Hell And Hallelujah" is the story of the difficult year Wynonna has endured. On April 30, 2022, the country music community was shocked and saddened by the suicide of country legend Naomi Judd, Wynonna's mother and partner in the country duo The Judds. Her death came in the middle of the duo's farewell tour and just days before they were to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. From those depths, through the sad and celebratory induction ceremony and the resumption of the tour, the last twelve months have been a hard road - and one that Wynonna is sharing with the world via the documentary. According to a statement from the singer, "It’s real, and it’s raw. It’s celebration and sadness. It’s all of the people who I leaned on during one of the toughest seasons of my life. I wanted the opportunity to tell my story in my voice. If doing so helps one person out there choose life, then I am grateful." The documentary will also follow Wynonna throughout the last Judds tour, dubbed "The Judds: The Final Tour," both on stage and behind the scenes, and will feature anecdotes from her friends and tourmates Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride, and Trisha Yearwood. "Wynonna Judd: Between Hell And Hallelujah" drops Wednesday, April 26 on Paramount+.
