Sinéad OʼConnor is ready to tell her story.

In 1990, following the release of O’Connor’s biggest success- her second studio album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got- the Irish singer-songwriter appeared on “Saturday Night Live” two years later where she publicly criticized the Pope for the Catholic Church’s child sexual abuse that went on for decades. The public instantly tore her apart and O’Connor was literally cancelled before cancel culture was a thing.
Now, 30 years later, O’Connor, 55, is ready to speak out to a more open-minded audience, perhaps viewers who’ve seen 2015’s “Spotlight”, a film that follows journalists hoping to find proof of the Roman Catholic Church’s cover-up of sexual abuse.

Directed by Kathryn Ferguson, “Nothing Compares” examines how O’Connor “used her voice at the height of her stardom,” as she stood firmly in her beliefs, knowing that art has the power to change the world.
The trailer, which can be viewed above, features distressing footage of the moment O’Connor was infamously booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden.
“Nothing Compares” will stream on Showtime on Sept. 30.

Addie Morfoot Contributor “Nothing Compares,” a documentary about the life and career of Sinead O’Connor, will be released in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Sept. 23 for a one-week run that qualify it for Academy Award consideration. The film’s theatrical release will come days ahead of the docu’s Sept. 30 Showtime streaming and on-demand debut. The 97-minute film, directed by Kathryn Ferguson, traces O’Connor’s rise to worldwide fame after “Nothing Compares 2 U” was released in 1990, as well as the Irish singer’s eventual exile from pop mainstream after she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on “Saturday Night Live” in 1992. The docu also examines other headline-grabbing controversies, like O’Connor’s refusal to perform at a New Jersey stadium amid the Persian Gulf War unless stadium officials agreed to forgo the playing of the national anthem. At the time, the star’s political and religious outrage was met with outrage. Told through a contemporary feminist lens, Ferguson’s portrait doc argues that O’Connor was 30 years ahead of her time.
